I was told in puppy class is to turn your back to her, and maybe say "DOWN" if she's jumping on you. Eventually she will get that when she jumps on you when you come home you will not give her what she wants and that's you. It will take awhile but keep at it and one day it will click, Remember to praise her when she gets it, or does what you want. And have EVERYONE do it. not sometimes. It works. I have a yellow lab (VERY HYPER dog), She doesn't jump on me anymore

oh bless, I'm having the same problem myself, imagine the trouble i have when i have to deal with a fully grown doberman and Dalmatian who do exactly the same thing.
i read in Victoria stilwells book, it's me or the dog, that if you keep a small bag of treats just inside your front door (or somewhere close to the front door where she can't get them) so when you come in, don't look at your dog or say anything to her, just throw a couple of treats to the other end of the room this will at least allow you to get through the door and get in, and turn your back on her. when she has settled, reward her with love and attention.
I'm currently doing this with my dogs and if you excuse the pun, it's working a treat!
hope this helps.

I have two rottweilers and they are the very same way.I always take about 20 minutes when I get home to devote just to them.I play hard with them outside and they calm down.Dogs are like children,they need a lot of attention.They are just very happy to see you.She's also still just a puppy.Just give her some personal attention when you get home and see how that works.I hope it works for you.

they are hyper after being left alone all day and now the love of their life has returned; obviously, your dog loves you and isn't afraid of showing it; don't be afraid to accept the welcome and recipicate with some attention to your faithful lonely friend. You are lucky, what if your dog didn't even raise an eyebrow when you walked in ; she bonded with you, she's a puppy ; let her show her affection and celebration of your arrival home.

Most often this type of behavior is exhibited by puppies, small dogs, or dogs which have never been trained not to jump on people. Dogs will jump up on people for one reason: to get attention from you. This is why when he is a puppy you will want to avoid petting him when he jumps up. Teach your puppy or dog to "sit" for attention or praise of any kind. When he jumps on you, use your lowered tone of voice and lean towards the dog saying "OFF." He will have no choice but to back away from you and when he does, teach him to sit only after he has his bottom firmly planted on the ground. Offer him calm praise for obeying you. Soon all you will have to say to your dog is "sit" and he will comply readily because he knows he will be rewarded.
Training Tip
What if he jumps on you on "the fly" and zips off where you cannot get your hands on him? Attach your leash to his collar and now you are in total control. Tell him "OFF," now "SIT," (help him into this position) now praise him calmly. If you offer too much excited praise you will be giving him the fuel to feed his bad habit, because he will want to jump up again. You cannot expect him to be calm if you are talking to him in your cutest baby talk. Try to avoid situations where you will be setting the dog up in a "no win" situation

I like teaching the dog to say a nice hello. Get your dog to sit, then greet her. Instead of repeating sit, sit sit or reaching out your hands, just stand still and wait her out. She will offer all kinds of behaviors that have worked for attention before. The instant she sits greet her with lots of praise and treats. Say "that's a nice hello". Dogs are pretty smart. She will think she has trained YOU to greet her by sitting. You can later get her to sit to greet other people in a sit by saying "say a nice hello".

That is normal dog greeting behavior. You are part of her pack now and she will check you out and greet you everytime you return home (even after a short period of time). That is normal dog behavior and one reason why people get dogs.

I actually have a lab too and he or she's 6 years previous now and nonetheless does that comparable appropriate element. i think of its interior the breed they are fairly energetic and prefer to play and continually choose interest. while they run around like that they are purely excited!

Been there, suffered that. I taught my guy to sit when i come in. Just sit, receive strokes and a few kind words. After a few minutes of this he is fine.
