Pup Running into me

I have a 10mo BL Male. He loves to retrieve and is very enthusiastic about it. My question is when he returns with the bumper or frozen bird, he sometimes plows into me. It has only happened twice now, but both time were in the last two weeks. I not a small man so I am sure it doesn’t feel good to run into me at full speed.

I am not sure how to correct him, I dont want to correct him and have him think that coming to me with the bird/bumper is a bad thing, but I dont want him to think it is ok or acceptable to run into me. Does anyone have any advice or tips?

Thanks

My younger golden does this especially during pile work. It's terribly cute but a hazard to my knees! He's morphed it into leaping past me to get into heel position. Tell him to sit front or step into him, usually they will back off then.
