Training sessions can swapped. One dog gets worked with then work with the other dog. I did tis separately. The older dog already knew things so I trained to polish that dog's cues while the puppy was trained like a puppy.
Dogs do steal from each other. I tried to keep more than two toys out so they could just swap around. When the puppy got to be too much, I separated them. Crates and gates are your friend annd the older dog needs his/her space.
Food and high value chews such as raw bones I separated the dogs physically. My rule is NEVER feed two dogs together loose next to each other. They get their food and it should be theirs. I use Kennels, crates or gates/doors so each dog eats alone.
I do not bother the dog when eating. Other dogs should not bother the dog when eating. Food time is their time.
I am down to one dog now. He still gets fed in a separate place (garage) as do the two cats (one eats on the screen porched and the other inside by the water bowl). After eating they are all together again (about 15 minutes).
