Should I stop a puppy from biting an older dog if it doesn't bother the older dog eventhough it draws blood?
Absolutely, I would not let a bunch of kids loose in a nursing home to beat up old people, just isn't right. An older dog may put up with quite a bit from a puppy and not react. They also may get fed up and do some significant damage to the puppy if pushed too far. Most dogs will figure things out on their own. If you have a puppy antagonizing an older dog to the point it is drawing blood you are not doing either dog a favor. The puppy will not learn to stop when it has gone too far and the older dog will be stressed out. Correct the behavior whenever you see it in a firm voice and isolate the dog for a time. If you are not able to be with the dogs to supervise do not let them interact in case the behavior continues. Eventually the puppy will respect the older dog.

You just brought home a new puppy following all the transition techniques Why is he now drooling licking his chops and acting like he wants to eat the puppy up?
Sounds like the older dog is stressed and needs to be watched. Usually when a new puppy gets home, they receive all the attention the older dog used to get and this can cause jealousy. Ensure the older dog get attention and love too and supervise calm play time. If you can get both to lay down with you, pet them and praise them during which all are calm and given positive comments they will usually model their behaviour i.e. no fighting, barking or biting, and no what you expect of them. They eventually get the message.

How do you introduce a new puppy to an older dog?
Make sure that your new puppy will be submissive to your three year old dog. Take them to neutural grounds (like a park or a common area) to meet for the first time. Put your puppy on its side or back, and have it submit to your older dog. Then walk the two together, your puppy behind your older dog. When you get home, your older dog gets to go in through the door before the puppy. Always be sure that your puppy is submissive to your older dog, and walk them everyday as a pack for them to bond. If your three year old dog is aggressive with other dogs or doesn't like to accept other humans and animals in the pack, then you should reconsider getting a puppy and consult a perfessional. *Slowly introduce them to each other. Never just put them in a room or yard together and leave them alone. The older dog may be territorial. Something that you may not be aware of until you try to introduce a new dog into it's territory. Slowly and patiently is what it will take.
