The knee to the ribcage lightly thing doesn't phase him. He's a hound, stubborn through and through... true to their nature!

Anyway, anymore suggestions would be great... I am willing to try anything at this point!!!
Have you tried the stepping on his back paw? Of course not stomping on it, but just apply pressure to his paw.
You know what a co-worker told me when I was going through this with Zoee? She did this with one of her dogs. It only took one time, but she did the knee in the ribcage hard enough to hurt. The dog NEVER jumped up again on people. I know that sounds really harsh, but if it only takes one time...??? I wouldn't suggest to continue this method if it doesn't work, of course. Personally, I couldn't do it with Zoee, but luckily the other lighter method worked with her. Maybe start out with the light nudge and work up to an amount that will get his attention that it is not okay to jump.
These are merely suggestions, as I am in no way a dog expert.
Just trying to help. Again....good luck.
