Some puppies are very dominant even at 12 weeks. I would keep a close eye on them, but not discipline the older dog. This will probably go on until the puppy yields to the other's dominance (or the other way around in some cases). If you interfere, it will probably only lengthen the time it takes for them to work it out between themselves.
