We have a 7mo. Shephard/Collie mix. Extremely smart and is responding to sit/down/stay command and starting come response from the video. We have one problem that can be dangerous especially to children and those who are phycically weak.
He gets so excited when new people come into the house or even stop to talk to him that he jumps up on them sometimes scratching them with his claws.
We have tried the knee into his chest but he seldom jumps on us and new people don't really seem to know the correct procedure and children just are too short to do any good.
Any suggestions?

Ed has some information on his website regarding this behavior. I believe his solution was to pinch the dog's paws when he comes up real hard and pretty soon the dog will associate jumping up with getting his paws pinched .
I hope this helps. For me, I just had someone correct the dog with a leasch and prong collar whenever the dog jumped on anyone. When Onyx was growing up, he had a leasch on him at all times in the house so I could reach and correct him with behaviors that were not appropriate.

I liked the method the monks of new skeete use in their puppy book..... hold the pup up by his paws till it cries then let go. They get the message quick.
All those techniques that were mentioned are good and will work, eventually. But right now you need a tighter hand on his/her leash when other people come around especially kids they like petting other peoples dogs and they know no fear until they are shown why, you don't touch other peoples dogs. You could get scrachted and or knocked down, by the puppy.
I'd hold a tighter leash (not choking) but limiting its range of motion and kneel beside the dog saying encouraging things when he complies.
If he/she tries to raise from the position to jump, you leash correct, and add a firm "no' and place him back into position and have the puppy/dog stay put and learn to accept visitors in a method that you like. IMO.
Just wanted to chime real quick. Be careful with the children. My dog jumped up on my 4 year old once about a year ago. I gave her the scruf of the neck shake correction. She hasn't even thought about it since. She will in a heart beat jump up on other kids and knock them down. She did this with a nieghbors 3 year old, if I were someone else, I would of thought the dog was attacking the child (she was trying to play, then licking his face when he was on the ground). The kid gets up, and he has a bloddy nose. BAD owner. The kid was in our yard, they have been told to not come to the dog, ect...doesn't matter. I should not have let it happen. Bottom line, kids are kids, they are fragile and they don't care about dog rules. Set your rules at home and tell people what they are. Then follow through with those rules. I was lucky with an understanding neighbor. You may not be, your dog jumps on a kid and scratches him, next thing you find yourself in court and dropped from your homeowners insurance.
