1. Your puppy is still a baby and right now , from your post, your older terrier is giving her what are known as "puppy rights" and tolerating behavior he won't tolerate from her in a few months. Generally speaking as long as he doesn't try and actually harm her, let him correct her if he does. But, as leader, anytime you think enough is enought give your older dog a break by crating the puppy for a time. Actually she should be separated from him most of the time so that she bonds to you more than to the other dog.

2. As far as your friend's dogs go, he needs to work on absolute, "I call you haul," obedience from both of them under any and all circumstances. He also needs to work on long (up to 30 minute downs) from both dogs. But, even when/if he gets to that point, all bets will be off if he's not there to supervise. When he can't supervise or if he does not have the control to instantly call off a fight before it gets started, he should keep the two dogs separated except for possibly very short, carefully supervised play sessions.
