Carrie Jo,

I had the same problem with my Golden.

Dr. Dog (Dennis Fetco) used to have a radio talk show about training dogs a long time ago, and I got him to come out and do a one-on-one with me.

When your dog jumps up on you, take ahold of her paws and "dance" with her, sweet talking the entire time. When her back legs begin to tire, and she tries to sit down; push her off 'backward' while saying "off." She will gently roll over backwards.

After 3 weeks of unsuccessful (other) methods, this one stopped the behavior in 3, yes, 3 tries.

My dog was smart enough to try it once with me and once with my husband to see if she would get different results. The third time she tried it with my neighbor. As we all did the same 'dance,' she got the message and the problem was solved.

Good luck.
