Every dog can learn - it's just a matter of finding the right motivation for the dog. I am afraid that she wasn't a good trainer.
Most dogs jump up on people for attention. If this is why your dog is doing it, turn and walk away from him. Ignore him until all four paws are on the floor, then pet him or give him attention. If he starts to jump again when you turn back to him, walk away again. He should soon figure out not to jump as long as you are consistent.
Some dogs do jump up in order to control someone (jumping on you when you are trying to get him to do something he doesn't want to, for instance). If this is the case, you will need to work harder with him. Tell him to sit when he jumps. You might want to keep a one- or two-foot long leash on him in the house so that you can use it to pull him off of you if necessary. Tell him only once to sit; make him do it if he doesn't listen. Praise him. You should also remind him that you are the leader by making him work for anything that he wants: walks, petting, play, to get on the bed, food, etc. Have him sit, lie down, or do anything that he knows on cue. I would look into a different training class, as well.
Finally, make sure he gets enough exercise. Most dogs need at least 40 minutes each day of aerobic exercise: running, swimming, playing with other dogs, agility, fetch, etc.

You need to see someone who can teach you how to handle your dog effectively. It doesn't take brute force, even with a large dog like yours.
Keep looking for a different trainer and spend a few weeks doing one to one sessions rather than going straight to a class. It sounds like he needs a bit of intensive work!
Also, some games might help. You can use them to train your dog and exersize him at the same time. He might do better if he's had a walk and a run before you start each training session, to get the springs out of his feet.
And oyu could try walking him in a headcollar, he should be easier to control.

I had a Lurcher and he or she develop into happy with different breeds if slightly standoffish! I actually have a pal who has Whippets and they honestly purely get alongside 100% with different lengthy dogs, they don't seem truly aggressive yet will bark at different breeds, so i'd say that it is a classic trait for the type of dogs.

If you are however struggling to boost you are straight and you are hoping to get both hands over the wheel, put Vert Shock to the check, a course you will believe it is here https://tr.im/khFQ4 and give it a decide to try, you will be taken aback of how quickly you may become a creature hopper if you prepare the right way.
The program won't allow you to jump 1000s of times since Vert Shock was developed and employed by true elite stage basketball players.
When it comes right down to it, if you really want to jump larger, you just discovered the most effective system in the world to do so. Some other way might merely be a waste of time.

If the dog likes to jump make the most of it and use the dogs energy and enthusiasm in an assault course. Give the dog plenty of lead training, then work your way up to taking off the lead and doing heal work. Start off in the back garden or a quiet field. You will know when its time to progress to off the lead. But use the energy in a positive way instead of a negative way. Get him to do what you want, not what he wants.He needs to know who's the boss, but make it fun. Use your tone of voice in training, make the tone higher to show you are pleased, and lower to show you are not happy.
Give it time, it wont happen over night. Be patient, don't give up. When it all comes together take him back to the trainer and show her how wrong she was.

You need a better trainer.
And also, he may be hyperactive because he isn't getting enough exercise. If you take him for a walk every single day, and also play with him/let him run around and play with other dogs at the dog park, it will get it out of his system. He requires a lot of exercise. And he will "listen" better when its "out of his system"
And when he jumps up on you, turn your back to him and walk away as he is doing it.. Also, when you come home don't get him all excited. Ignore him for a few minutes while you are putting your stuff on the counter, taking your shoes off...and once he calms down THEN you hug him and pet him.
Sometimes we contribute to our dog's hyper-ness when we seam to be "rewarding" them for it.

It sounds like you have a real challenge on your hands. But that just means you both need training more.
If your previous trainer couldn't help you she was recognizing her own limitations. Not all dog trainers are equal. Check with your vet., look in the yellow pages, check the AKC website for an obedience club in your area, ask your animal control officer. Find a different trainer, get into training. This will not get better on its own, and could get worse.

I can't believe that woman told you that! What a load of rubbish!
Find a different class and he will excell. Hyper dogs do really well at training if you persevere and you can develop into trying to channel his energies into agility or flyball.
Good luck - bet he is great fun!

i bet all the other dogs were smaller..it was probably to much work,and its usually only an hour...the trainer that trained my dog (well me...coz they say its the owner not the dog..heehee)told me,when u mix breeds,theres all different genes with all different ways of acting, each dogs have different types of temperament,so mixing them sometimes makes them wild...lol,thats why its always easier to train a pedigree, but i would take it to a different trainer..? my dog never did anything i wanted her to do at the class's..she was terrified,but at home..she was dead good :D

when you go out on walks when he strts to take you for a walk yank him back as hard as you can and say "No Heel!" and keep on repeating this. (im not saying that it would happen over night but keep this sequence going on and he will soon get it that he isnt alowd to pull)
Also if he is jumping up on you just say "No!" push him down, walk away and ignore his also this wont happen over night you have to wait for him to get it into his head that its not nice and it is upsetting you.
i hope this helps you and good luck.x
