I have seen that working dogs (you mentioned Aussie Cattle) need a job or purpose in life. My brother had a problem with his Australian Shepherd dog trying to herd the family (dragged me by my skirt) but when they started playing frisbee the dog felt like it found its place in life.
Besides training the dog not to jump, please give it an outlet for its energy like playing ball, taking walks or playing frisbee. That is also positive attention as well as burning of energy.
