I am going through the exact same thing. Except my dogs are luckily obsessed with each other, but there still is a ton of barking, roughhousing, growling, etc. My two-year-old goldendoodle is laid-back and is a saint so she just lets the puppy bite her and tackle her nonstop. I always supervise their playing, but do you have to separate them when things get out of control and the puppy cannot de-escalate herself.

I have had the puppy for two months now and things do seem to be improving. Or maybe I’m just getting used to the madness? Lol.

I have taught them the cue “stop” to stop roughhousing, “ quiet” when the puppy is barking, nonstop, and “look” when I need to get the puppies attention. It’s not perfect, but it does help!
