The big dog needs to be allowed to gain dominance over the little runt. Once that is established, things should go more smoothly. Also..little puppies can be very very annoying for older dogs. Some just don't have the patience to deal with a hyper ball of energy that wants to play. all. the. time.

However, the use of the word (which in fact isn't a word) "irregardless" actually expresses the opposite of your intent. Irregardless would indicate that there _is_ regard, whereas you were trying to express a lack of regard. I know it's a fairly common misuse of the word regardless, but it's just

What I would do, just based on my own experience, is to hold the older dog, and reassure him. Meanwhile someone else holds the puppy and calms it down. Even a puppy can learn to sit quietly and this is what you are trying for. Then bring the puppy to where the older dog is still being held. On so
