My brother in law is here this weekend with his German Shorthair pup, about 10 weeks old and then we have our cockapoo, about 11 weeks old...its nerve racking letting them play! I get scared one is going to get hurt or get a tooth in the eyeball or something! I mean, my husband says that if they're playing too rough one will yelp or whatever, but it still scares me. Any suggestions to get through this weekend safely?

Also, remember YOU are in charge. If the pups get too rough for your tastes, you can halt the interaction to calm them down. Release them when they are both calm and relaxed and not staring at each other, dying to jump back in. They may go right back at it after you let them go, but it will help to show humans are in charge of the interactions and they may be a bit more calm after the time out. It's a good time for some fun obedience (no corrections, just positive and fun) for both, let them see that playing with their owners is still more fun than playing together. Also, don't let them play rough with collars on- they could catch a tooth on those. Probably won't happen, but I like to err on the side of caution.
