Dog training help - jumping - Edit: What's the OB's opinion on shock collars?

My dog is a 5 month old American Bulldog/Mastiff mix. He knows basic commands - sit, stay, no, etc. The problem is that he jumps when guests come to the house or when he's real excited. He weighs over 40lbs now and this is getting to be a problem.
He doesn't do this to me much, but he does it to my wife and others all the time. I've always trained my own dogs and have had success but seem to be getting nowhere with this.
Advice please on how to stop this behavior without sending him to camp Coot. TIA.

Have you tried E-collar?

No. Is that a shock collar?
Mrs. House doesn't like the pinch collar I am using on him. She will shite twice and die if I put a shock collar on him. That will be a last resort but I have no qualms about doing it.

If you find something that works, lemme know.
I have to grab a rolled up magazine every time someone comes in my house.

When you figure it out let me know. My 10 year old dog still does this. It's annoying.

Light Knee to the chest (block them but don't hurt them) with a stern no

Smack them in the head

I taught mine down and sit, but I also taught her to jump up on me. I've worked with her a good bit early on and she only jumps up when asked. I think it's one of those things where teaching her how to do it made it easier for me too teach her not to do it. I will admit my dog is timid so it was probably easier than with most dogs. It's really helpful now that the wife is pregnant. Around strangers, we just have to reinforce it with a down command when she starts getting hyped up.

That block head is hard. This only works for 10 seconds.

This doesn't really work either. He just fricking gets mad and jumps again.

Will fix problem with the quickness

i had a lot of trouble with my lab jumping up on people. i started just giving her a pop on the nose, telling her 'no', and sometimes kneeing her (not enough to hurt, but enough that she didn't care for it). the big trick for me was to be super consistent, every time she jumped i did that.
she still jumped up on my gf for a long time though because the gf wasn't fast enough to pop her in the nose every time. but every time i was around, if she jumped on gf, i would immediately go and pop her or just tell her 'no'. she gets it now. what's really funny is that she still likes to jump, she just makes damned sure that her feet don't touch you.

This and start early. Increase the knee as needed. Have the wife do it too! It's not going to hurt him.

Shock collars are not on and off, the have controls to adjust from a tingle to a real shock. They are an effective tool for keeping a trained dog honest...

My 1 year old dog does this and my other one doesn't. The one that does is the hyper/excited one of the two. They both know sit, stay, down and so on but she just can't help herself when you walk through the gate. We turn our back to her and make her sit before we acknowledge her and it's working but only when we are consistent. She will jumps a time or two but she gets it. Hopefully this also slows when she gets a little older and can control herself a little better

I use the knee to the chest without much verbal command. I use as much force as I need meaning a harder knee for a more aggressive dog and a less for a softer dog. Don't let your dog around guess if you can until you have control. Some people encourage the dogs to do this further confusing the dog. The e-collar is a great training tool if used properly. It is also a horrible training tool if used improperly.It should be used on a low setting in this case and gradually increased as needed. Your dog's reaction to the shock will tell you how strong of a shock to be used.

IMO, a jumping dog needs a slap for doing it once and a stiff right hook for doing it twice. Haven't met a dog yet that can't be broken of jumping on people. It's a simple fix.
Shock collars are the best thing ever invented for dog training if you use it properly. I don't think it's necessary in this case though. If you don't want to hit your dog, you can buy a very basic shock collar for about $100 and it comes with instructions on teaching basic obedience with it.
Your dog just needs to learn what no means.

The knee thing, it takes awhile, some dogs even longer, but consistancy is the key. And everybody has to be on the same page. And if he knows no, this should be a part of it too. The slapping of the nose/head only will make the dog shy of getting pet on the head, I would not recommend.
