My problem is Baby love's to jump on anybody who come's in the door...She is so happy to everyone who come's in my door...jumping, put's her paw's right on everybody's waist and clinging...licking like crazy...I make her sit but it only take's a few second's for her to act crazy again...even after they have been in the house for awile she still what's to jump on them...she is very well trained and she sometime's does this to people when i'm walking her...I know she love's everything but it really does have to stop...Who want's a 60pound dog jumping on them...Any advice would greatly be appreciatted(i think i spelled that right)...Thanks..

Have you ever tried clicker training with Baby?

put him in a different room when people come over, until you train this behavior away. It takes time and patience
Just about every dogtraining book has a section on how to do this. FIRST you have to teach a down/stay. Gradually make the situations more difficult and distracting until she can hold her stay in every situation. Then practice with friends coming to the door; give the down/stay command. Friend comes in; if Baby gets up, friend goes back out the door, and you move Baby further away. Etc.

easier said then done. Rocky is a therapy dog but when it comes to visitors he cant control it. ALthough has gotten alot better. He acts looney but quickly calms and goes to his spot. Training go to your spot works best when they can stay with all fours on floor then guest can give a treat. I always planned to clicker train when there is a knock or a ring it means go to your spot but I have never taken the time to have someone ring or knock to train it. Not the dogs fault that one I have been lazy about.

I'm waaaay too lazy to type it up, but maybe someone has a link to the same thing.
In the Petsmart/pet store mag by Dog Fancy people called "How to Train your Bully Breed" there is a great one pager on how to train "your spot" and "settle".
