I've been meaning to buy a bell for my boys to ring when they need to go out. Alot of people just ring it for them when the dog goes out then the dog starts learning that bell=potty.

When people come over, do they greet him? Or ignore him? What I've been trying to do is, when I come home, I ignore them both until 5 minutes later. But they must first come and sit for me before I greet them though. That way, someone coming home equals no big deal cause they aren't getting praise for jumping and no one's excited to be home. It seems to be working pretty well with ours.
