I know it is hard to not make over the new puppy more, but the older dog needs you also. I think the problem will go away in a few days after they get used to each other. Or maybe try feeding the puppy in another room jus to get them apart.

Try spending some extra time with him playing, walking or just hanging out without the pup. Good luck!
