How do you handle it when your dogs scuffle? I need advice.

The gsd is making the lab submit. That's why the lab allows it and whimpers. The whimpering is the labs aknowledgement of submission. That's also why the gsd isn't drawig blood. Also why the lab doesn't stop. One doesn't go underneath another dog it wants to fight. He's playing/harassing.

Dog fights you have to worry about are generally quiet (compared to most scuffles), bc they are too busy trying to kill each other to bother with scarey noises. It's past posturing at this point, and it's fighting.

Having two females that scuffle sometimes, and have fought twice, and a dominant male that does what you described to both, it's actually interesting to see the differences live

If this is the same dog that wont release the ball/frisbee, then he needs more NILIF. Make sure everyone including your son is reinforcing the hierarchy around there.Maybe put him in a crate instead of your sons room (sons room doesn't sound like "punishment" to me).
