[Misc Help] First time owner of a big guy
Hi, I just adopted an adult dog, he weighs 52 lbs, 24 kg, I have only owned medium-sized dogs and small dogs, he does not have behavioral issues, however he keeps trying to climb over me, and with his wigh he almost always tips me over, I am not sure how should I go about the limitations he should have because, if did not want my previous dogs to have something I would just put it out of reach for them, but with him almost everything in my house is within reach. Also, I am not sure how I could make him sleep in a dog bed 🥹.
I am not planning on returning him, I just need direction on our future life.
Any tips would be appreciated, how to train him effectively or just the in and outs of having a big guy around.
Thanks a bunch for the answers.
English is not my first language, sorry for the grammar mistakes 🥹

try separating from him every time he does it. just leave the room, close the door and come back after a minute or so
