Recently got a corgi puppy, she’s 4 months old, almost 5

We also have a 13 year pit. He’s 99% laid back. He doesn’t do much, and tolerates her very well.

However during treat time, my corgi puppy is too eager and tries to jump at his mouth to I don’t know. Steal his treats? Assert dominance?

This only happens sometimes, but obviously it’s not okay and my pit snapped at her for the first time today when she jumped up and bit him harder than normal. He let off easy, and no dogs are hurt. I have them separated at the moment

But I’m not sure what to do to alleviate this issue. Any advice would be helpful

I didn't know exactly what I signed up for today until the people who were doing it explained it to me and told me about it but I agreed to the procedure anyway due to being tired of the pain in my feet. I can't walk well for at least a week if not over(and was told not to unless it was absolutely necessary until they said so) and my pup is hard to entertain due to not liking toys. normally I run with him to wear him out. I messed my foot up and had to have it worked on today but I gotta get the other worked on in a couple weeks as well to prevent the same issue from happening with that one. So I probably got a whole month of not being able to do the running thing. Idk what to do. I have a kong but that only lasts about 10 minutes tops. He can take up to an hour to wear down enough.(not aiming for sleep aiming for not bored)

I have a 14 wk old lab and am a little embarrassed to say didn’t really know about forced naps. I’m home most of time so mostly relied on play, training and mind games like treats used as treasure under stuff or in plastic bottles stuff like that to tire him out till he falls asleep on my feet. Lunch, crate him for hour or two while I go out, come home and repeat until he falls asleep again. He always seems to wake up right before dinner. He gets fed, light play and training, falls asleep on feet again, he wakes up long enough before bed to potty then in the crate for bed. Right now I’m getting up every 3 hours to take him out. I can’t take him anywhere yet until his last vaccinations in ten days. After reading this no wonder I’m exhausted. Am I doing him a disservice with this routine, maybe add forced naps? Suggestions, comments? Thanks
