Jeckyl & Hyde Labrador

She doesn't need it to feel in control, she needs it because she's small and 7 months pregnant. I'm 6' 3" and 215lbs. He gives me a run for my money sometimes when he gets excited. Thanks for the advice though.

I have the same problem with my 165 lb Mastiff Bon
We rarely have company so he gets super excited whenever
anyone come.
What we've done is put him in his crate for about 10 minutes
or so until he calms down. It's the only thing that seems to work for him.

I hope you can find a solution that works for you.

You've already had some great advice. All I can add is to ask your guests to completely ignore him as though he doesn't exist until he has completely calmed down. No touching or eye contact just walk straight passed him. My dog used to stand at the top of the stairs barking and our friends just walked straight past him. Of course they knew he wouldn't bite, he would then just go and lie down since he was getting no "reward" for his bad performance.
