She is very freindly and gets very excited when visitors come to the house. She is getting big and strong and jumps up very excitedly like a jack in a box.

get them to turn the back on her and ignore her and if they are sittign down and she jumps on them tell them to stand up and just continue talking.. once she settles tell her she is wonderful and pet her paise the good behavoir and tells your guest to do the same. she will learn that jumping isn't as fun as being good and getting cuddles and fuss.
staffs are like this very lively and loving. My sister in law has a 6 month old male and he does the same, but he is getting better.
good luck

The most important thing you must understand is YOU own the front door. I would have her in a sit position a good 5 feet from the door and she must STAY calm. Do not answer the door till she is in a calm way. If she tries to go to the door block her, w/ your body with and give a "HEY" Once she is calm, go to the door if she moves start over. Once your door is open make sure your guest do not greet her. Your dog should still be calm and sitting in the same spot. Your guest should walk right by her. You might want to do some excises with a member of the family or a friend, It may take a few attempts b-4 your dog knows what you want. So prepare to not be able to answer the door right away. Good luck
PS Do not allow your dog to join in on any communication for a good 15-20 minutes, this practice will keep her calm.

jumping on guests is a greeting behavior. your puppy is just saying "hi there! i want to meet you!" trainers with no skills will suggest kneeing the poor little guy in the chest, or jerking his leash (in my opinion this is the equivalent of punching someone in the face when they smile and try to shake your hand) you need to teach the dog that jumping doesn't work, but sitting does. it's simple to do without being cruel. when you, or anyone else walks up to the puppy and he jumps the person being jumped on should cross their arms and turn right around and walk away. once the dogs paws are all on the foor, they should approach again and tell the dog to sit. when he sits, give him a treat, petting, praise. ALL jumping should be met with NO interaction. no eye contact, no pushing away, just crossed arms and turning your back. the puppy will learn very quickly that jumping up means his new friend goes away, but sitting means treats and love. get a friend to help you and practice this in your home. put the pup on the leash and just practice approaching the pup over and over. he'll amaze you with how quickly he gets it. carry treats on all walks so you can give them to new people until he learns. good luck!

the dog must get absolute correction no easy way out. .When he rises step forward and knee him hard in the chest and accompany that with a loud NO. make sure it knocks him backwards. Give him the look after wards that says I'm mad at you and I won't allow that behavior.This is going to be easy if you DO IT but be sure it won't stop if you ignore it and the problem could lead to many possible serious situations. Do this yourself and with some male friends . It won't take but a very few times. This is a smart breed . Do not reward him until he gets the right behavior and then praise him for giving a calmer greeting.

Frankly there is no stopping the dog from digging unless you never let him outside again. :) I was told with my husky (who lives to dig tunnels to china, i swear she will get there some day) that you can actually outwit the dog. Instead of preventing the digging, you could segregate a specific spot that you don't mind him digging in. My guess is that you would do this the same way you get them to go to the bathroom in the same place. Lots of treats and praise for good behavior and lots of (not hitting) discipline when the rules are broken.

Please don't try that knee blocking trick on a 6-month-old puppy, that's far too young for such physical restraint. The best thing is to use a leash to restraint her when she does it, praising her when she sits. Ask visitors not to touch her or praise her until she is calm. Everyone automatically wants to pet or priase a small puppy but it won't be so cute when she's bigger.

Proper training and socialization are some of your dog's most basic needs. Learn how to set a basic foundation before you begin to train your dog https://tr.im/dogtrainingcourse
At first, dog training can seem pretty overwhelming, especially if this is your first dog. Truth be told, training your dog is a very big project. However, if you take it step by step, you will find the task to be far less daunting.
