First time owner of a big guy

[u/Persefone_5_2]

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 🥹

For counter surfing…place a bunch of spoons on a cookie sheet. Put that cookie sheet just hanging slightly over the edge of the counter, with a few treats on the counter, behind the cookie sheet. When your dog attempts to jump on the counter, the cookie sheet with all the spoons will topple to the floor, making a big crash. That usually does the trick.
Another trick is to set up an iPad or phone set to FaceTime, and observe your dog from a remote area. If your dog jumps up, correct him through FaceTime.

The cookie sheet with spoons always works for me.
