Default Puppy driving old GSD crazy. Let them settle it??

Never had two dogs at one time. Just got a puppy Havoc now 11 weeks old last Friday. My current GSD Kaos is 9 years 7 months. He has always been friendly with other dogs and people either in my house. Outside or at the vets.....The puppy Havoc won't leave him alone though. Jumping on Kaos. Biting him on the feet or tail. He chases after him in the yard and steals his sticks I throw to him. Havoc even barked at Kaos two separate times when he took his stick back....

At 1st Kaos did the put Havoc on his back (actually Havoc just assumed the position) Kaos smelled him. Now the puppy is upping the anty while on his back he keeps thrashing his paws and feet. Trying to run get away. Kaos now had a couple times low level growled, barked and put his mouth around the puppy to hold him down. On a couple (prob. two) occasions the puppy yelped but there was no visible bite marks at all. I have thought you need to let them settle it now while the puppy is a puppy. Is this correct?? When or should they be separated?? (aside from if it looks like the puppy will get hurt). It just looks scary seeing the much bigger dog getting pissed at being tormented.....

Thanx Much in advance for the help......
