hi this problem is becoming quite annoying buddy has started jumping up at people when the come into the house or when anyone has food in their hand i take hold of him by the collar and tell him no but as soonm as i let go he does it again it embarrassing especially if its a stranger who comes to the house i have even tried shutting him in another room for five minutes but it makes no difference eventually he does calm down and goes and lies down and leaves them alone what else can i do to stop this behaviour.

I am interested in the replys to this post, I am going through the same problem with Meg, she also gives up after the visitor has been in for a while.
I have tried everything even keep treats by the door so when people call they make her sit first then treat, but all she does is wait for the treat then jump. Soooo frustrating

My method for teaching not to jump up is to lift one knee gently up between their front legs towards the chin. It's just a gentle lift and the paws fall either side of your leg and down to the floor 
There's no need to whack your dog in the chest or on the chin with your knee  I don't think that would help 
I know others have other methods but this has always worked well for me and friends of mine but it is what works best for you.
