I take a different view of this, especially when I am a guest in some-one else's home and that includes family, my dogs are disciplined if necessary to be on their best behaviour, most especially if I know there are non dog ppl who either live there or are visiting.
They and that includes RAzzle are not allowed to jump up on any-one, if RAzzle won't obey consistently to cease and desist unwanted behaviour, he is first leashed to me, or crated or put in a play pen.
As a guest in anothers' home, that has allowed me to bring my dogs, I am most especially vigilant about my dogs, that they do not get in the way, and are good canine citizens.
I do believe that small dog owners should not permit behaviour one would not allow in a 150 lb dog.
