Stepping in sooner may be better if you see the older dog giving signs when she doesn’t want to play. You could try replacing the pup behavior with another activity to do. Example by<span style=”line-height: 1.5;”> getting her attention and guiding the pup to play with a toy instead or maybe guide her to her resting spot and give her food kong to chew on. Teaching her a “leave it” command can be very useful when it comes to thing’s you want a dog to leave alone or disengage from. In phrase 1 instruction videos you can learn how to teach your Dog this command… work your way through all the phrases to proof the command though.
