Should You Let Your Older Dog Correct Your Puppy?

Letting your older dog correct your puppy can be tempting, but it can also lead to a lot of issues. Many puppies are scared, injured or killed by improper "corrections" from an older dog.
As the human it is your job to monitor dogs when they are together and step in when needed. If the puppy is bothering your older dog so much that a "correction" is needed, it should be you doing it and not the other dog.
There is nothing wrong with the older dog giving little warnings to tell the puppy to chill out, but they should not be biting the puppy or holding them down.

I'm glad I saw this. My puppy is all over my 2 year old dog, and he tries to correct her. I wondered if I was doing the right thing making him stop so I could do the correcting. Thanks!
