How do I stop my dog from jumping on people?
Never give up on someone you can't go a day without thinking about.
Be consistent with puppies and dogs; it's counterproductive to discourage your dog from jumping on others, while allowing her to jump on you and lick your face. Turn all the way around when you first walk in the door and your dog leaps up on you. Wait until your dog stops jumping, and say "Good!" the moment she does. Command your pup to sit if she knows the command, and don't touch her until she does. Again, be consistent. Tell your dog to find her toy if she doesn't know "sit." This redirects your pup's energy from jumping on you to finding her toy. Practice "no jump" with friends once your dog learns not to pounce on you. Have friends give treats and praise when your dog succeeds. Anticipate potential jumping situations, and tell your dog to sit or redirect her attention to something else. Praise your dog when she doesn't jump, especially during situations that might give her reasonable cause.

I'm trying to fix this problem myself.. whenever she does it we just say 'down' and make her get down.
