I agree with Dougal and Little, try to turn your back. You can practice this by walking up to your pup and saying "hi" with a treat in your hand...when he jumps up, walk the other way and then come back and try again. It helps to have someone else holding his leash so he doesn't follow you-lol. This works in puppy class

If you are sitting down and he jumps up your legs, maybe keep a leash on him while he walks around the house...then when he claws your pantyhose, you can give him a tug and "off" to help him get it
