So we have had our 2yr old lab since she was 10 months old and she's been an only child for 2 years. We just brought a 10 wk old puppy home and the 2yr old follows the puppy around the house and constantly watches and stares at her. When the puppy tries to play with a toy though, the 2yr old takes the toy away or tries to push past me and my husband to take the toy. She keeps bowing and pouncing at her and swats her to the ground from time to time. Though when the puppy nips or bites me and my husband my dog keeps putting her mouth around the puppys throat. The puppy doesn't cry but it makes me nervous. Does my older dog hate the puppy? Why is she so obsessed with what the puppy is doing? Will she hurt her?

The puppy doesn't provoke or try to annoy our older dog and she squeals when she is too rough. I am worried about my older dog being a bully.
