This is solely a behavioral problem and the solution is to try and correct this behavior. Whenever your puppy does this I would recommend shaking a can with coins in it near him and say "off!" and physically remove him from your other dog. This may take some time to correct this behavior but with time and patience, the behavior will be corrected.
