You are correct there Rottie! My dogs went through obedience classes and were trained to not jump on people but when I visit other people's houses that is often a different story. One training tip that we learned to teach the "no jumping" behavior is to bend your knee as the dog is coming toward you. Soon they will get the point that a bent knee doesn't allow them to bounce off you quite the way they wanted to! Anyway, it works.
