Is possible to teach a dog how to play well with others?

There is a new puppy in the family (not our household) an we’ve been introducing them slowly.

Whilst my dog is usually chilled, he definitely likes his own space when he’s around other dogs. He likes to play for 10-15 mins then be left for a bit. Then he’ll initiate play again.

Whilst I think we can manage the puppy, my question is around teaching my dog manners when it comes to playing with the new dog. When he plays with older/bigger dogs, they are very good at taking turns, letting my dog ‘win’ sometimes even though he’s smaller, giving him his space when he’s clearly had enough. My dog doesn’t seem to do this with the puppy, and while it’s not aggressive he definitely dominates the entire game without letting the puppy win. We watch them very carefully and obviously separate them when they need space.

Is there any way to teach a dog nice play manners? Our dog is an older rescue so we haven’t had the luxury of introducing him to new dogs at an early age.
