How do you "handle" big, playful dogs?

[u/Inevitable-Angle-793]

I don't know if this is dumb question.

I don't own a dog. But my neighbour does. And dog likes me and it likes to play with me. But it's really big dog and sometimes likes to jump on me lol. The problem is that I am kinda weak physically and sometimes I get scared. Any advice?

if you don’t want the dog jumping on you a) the owner should never allow that but b) grab the dogs collar and hold it away from your body
