taking the toys away

Hi my two puppies seem to be getting a bit snappy with each other at the moment, and it seems to be over possesions(toys, chews). If I took the toys away so there was nothing to fight over would they calm down? I dont know weather this is something that they will grow out of, if someone with experience in this situation could give me some advice it would be much appreciated

I don't have any OES experiences. But what I know from having 2 puppies, (mixed breeds, one female one male). They are having fun, but then fun turns to a dominance struggle. You will have one dog more dominant than the other, this has to happen. I guess I would intervene if I thought one was being hurt, I used the water bottle and sprayed them. They do this at doggydaycare to. Also to separate them, give them a time out. Depends how they do things, sometimes you just leave them alone, and the dogs will figure it out. Usually the underdog gets fed up and gives a cry of pain and the other ones backs off. Good luck.
