Have someone come in. When your dog starts to jump don't give him any attention, turn away from him or they can go back out. Make him sit and stay, reward him for doing that.
Keep repeating. He only gets attention and rewarded when he keeps all paws on the floor.
Make sure all family members do this when they come in. Don't let anyone reward the bad behavoir with attention.

Another little trick I saw on tv. When you pet a dog on the top of their head it encourages them to jump up. Scratch them on their chest. It brings their head and attention downward. I do this when I meet new dogs. It works.
Good post! I saw this on Oprah and was going to recommend it too
