What kind of dog do you have? I have a Jack Russell and he's 10 years old and still jumps. He knows not to jump on people, but sometimes he still slips up.
When I got home from work I would ignore him until he went outside to use the bathroom. Then he would get a treat.
Also, when he was young, I would play with him for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening after I got home from work. It calmed him down. Taking your dog on walks will help too.
Teach your dog a command for down. I use an open hand faced toward the floor and say "down" in a firm voice. It seems to work. Hope this helps.

I work at a rescue centre and this is the information we would give you. When you come through the door, do not give your dog any attention at first. This makes it a huge ordeal for her, and she gets over excited, causing her to jump up. Ignore her completely for around 10 minutes, then just give her a pat and a stroke, but don't let your voice sound excited. This will hype your dog up, and cause her to jump as well.
Always praise her on the ground. If needs be, get down to her level by getting down on your knees, and giving her attention. When she jumps up, push her down, and say 'no' in a firm voice, then turn around, and walk away.
Get her used to receiving attention from the lowest point possible. You need to get down to her level, before she gets to yours.

It depends on what size dog you have. For a medium/large breed dog you can do this for when you walk in the door:
When the dog goes to jump on you draw your knee up toward your chest and firmly push the dog back with your knee. Encourage your house-guests and anyone else to do the same. Soon your dog will learn that it is not appropriate behavior to jump on people.

Sounds like a dog looking for your attention. Well, you have some training to do that will with consistance work and you'll enjoy your dog more.
If you are able take your dog with you, this gets the dog out of the house, virus being cooped up and it helps with the socializing your dog needs. When you dog jumps up on you or others take the dog by the collar and pull her down to the ground to get her to settle and submit to you the owner and with a firm strong voice,
tell your dog down. In time your dog will know that this behaviour isnt allowed. Afterwords dont forget to gives praises and sometimes offer a treat like a baby carrot.
I work in a vet clinic and I know this works but you have to be faithful to make it work and you have to spend more time with your dog socializing. Dont forget to take along a plastic bag or two to clean up after your pet. Its a dirty job, but we have to responsible pet owners.
Good luck

Discourage her from doing so by saying "Down" very firmly then utterly ignoring her behaviour when she jumps. The moment she calms down, give her lots of praise and encouragement.
You may also find it helpful to have someone holding her on a lead and exposing her to situations when she would usually jump. That way the lead holder can encourage her to lay down whenever she tries to jump up.

If she jumps on you too much, then make it sort of a game! When she jumps try to catch her and put her outside on a leash! (lest, of course, she be a wee bit too big to catch...)

whilst canines get excited, they leap. this is style of widespread that when their in demand individual comes living house from being long previous (does not remember how long) that stated dogs gets excited. some canines leap, others twirl, some pee. this is in user-friendly terms a reaction.
