What do I do about my overly excited Chizer puppy of 6 months that continues to try and play with my Older dog that doesn't want to play?

If you increase Dexter’s exercise that should help. Teaching him to retrieve a ball will allow you to wear him out in the house so he will leave the other dog alone. Please monitor them so the older dog doesn’t injure him. As Dexter grows up and calms down this issue should resolve. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Dexter.
