(I believe this dog is simply greeting his mistress, but he is pretty big to jump on visitors!)Especially for seniors and younger children, it is not only annoying but dangerous when a large dog jumps up on them.
There is a pretty standard way of training a dog not to do this. Like all training - including the teaching of humans - it is never guaranteed!
When the dog jumps up on you, have your knee ready to thump the dog on the chest. If he or she is a smart dog who learns easily, you will not be long before he quits this behavior.
By the way, "Quit!" is another very nice word to use instead of "No" which dogs hear so often it loses its true meaning.
In all of our training with dogs, our goal is to turn out sociable, well-behaved canine citizens who people enjoy having around.
