Sounds like your dog might not see you as the alpha if it just refuses to listen. You have to establish yourself as the lead pack animal and your dog will listen a little better.
It only took about 2 hours to break my dog Seven from jumping on people after I brought him home from the shelter. Amy and I took him home and while he was on the leash, I had her walk just out of his range. When he went to jump on her, I just held the leash and gave a firm "no jumping". After a few times, he figured it out and doesn't have that problem anymore. He gets the look in his eye sometimes when he and I are out that he wants to, but he looks back at me and remembers that he isn't supposed to do it.
If your dog does it to you as well, when he gets in the pouncing position, put your hand out, palm toward him and give a firm "no" Your hand should be the barrier. Keep in mind, younger dogs usually have an insane amount of energy. Taking the pup for long walks or runs usually tire them out.
much luck
