All you really need to do is turn your back, avoid eye contact and ignore puppy for a few seconds every single time he jumps up. Jumping puppy = invisible puppy. As soon as he calmly has "four on the floor", he is not only visible but the most wonderful puppy in the world!

For this to be effective, you have to be consistent and everyone in the household has to participate. It won't take puppy long to learn that to get what he wants (your attention), he has to stay on the floor.

Good luck!
