First, we need to convert the height of Juan's dog from feet and inches to just inches. Juan's dog stands at 2 feet and 3 inches, which is the same as 2 x 12 + 3 = 27 inches.
Now, we subtract Peter's dog's height from Juan's dog's height to find the difference: 27 inches - 9 inches = 18 inches.
Therefore, Juan's dog is 18 inches taller than Peter's dog.
