Yes, I also think guests ignoring your dog can really help. We completely ignore our Borador (Border Collie lab mix) puppy when we enter or leave the house. This prevents the excitability when arriving and separation anxiety when leaving. Works like a charm and our dog is better adjusted. Greeting Behavior | Behavior
Train using a leash by pulling back sharply with the word "off!" Also you can step on the leash or hold the dog down by the collar using the command. If your dog jumps on you put your knee to the chest and use the command. My obedience trainer grabbed my dogs front paws causing her to cry, but dogs paws are sensitive and she didn't do it very hard. Jumping!! | Behavior
