My corgi, Shippo, lives with my 55lb Border Collie mix, Eevee. They have been playing since Shippo was 12 weeks old. Eevee has always been aware of his size and has been gentle with him in play.

Some dogs don't know how to be gentle and have to learn. Shippo, for example, is used to playing with big dogs, so he's still learning how to be gentle with dogs his size and smaller. When he's playing with little dogs, I usually have him on a leash, so if he gets too rough I can end the play for a minute. This teaches him that if he's not gentle with the other dog, playtime is over. Perhaps you and your roommate can work something out similar. >^^;<
