Off the bed. Especially with a dog that will be that big.

Eventually you can let it up, but not until the hierarchy is well established.

here is another bit of advice that i just thought of based on this post. Do not put her anywhere you don't want her to be later on. Even one time of her being on the sofa and she will always want to be on the sofa. My breeder informed me of this and i was kinda hard headed, thinking as a puppy, he wouldn't remember he was on the sofa. I was wrong, he remembered and now it's a pain to get him off.
