My husky puppy bites and plays rough with older dogs. How do I stop?

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | unneutered | 15.6 lbs

Hi, i just got a 10 week old male Siberian Husky, and brought him home to 4, three year old Havenese dogs. The Havenese are a pack, and don’t do well with other dogs. The husky is very sweet but every time we introduce him to the other dogs, he bites and chases after them. He is just playing, but his way is playing is rough. He also bites me along with anyone who pets him. Any suggestions would be very helpful!

Introducing a new puppy can be difficult but is not impossible. Here are a few helpful links: https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-tips-to-introduce-a-puppy-or-dog-to-your-older-dog/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/getting-acquainted-for-life-bringing-home-a-new-puppy/ Also make sure to give the new puppy a lot of exercise prior to meeting the other dogs since being physically tired will make things easier. Just take it slow and be patient. Best of luck.
