I'll be willing to bet that dog is a toy breed of sorts
I can't believe no one has asked what kind of dog this is yet.

What about boundaries in the bedroom? Does the dog sleep with her/y'all? Does it watch and/or participate in amorous activity?

Alphas do Alpha things.....Dog wins this battle.

I agree wholeheartedly. Her entire family knows the dog is a problem, but noone has ever addressed it. I am not a big dog person, and me and the dog get along great. I love the dog truly, but he needs to learn boundaries.
The biggest hurdle is going to be getting your g/f to go along. If she's allowed this behavior for 6 years, she's probably going to be reluctant (at best). The problem with that is the dog sees her as the alpha, so getting her on board with setting rules, boundaries and limitations should be your first focus (because if you can't get that accomplished, your success will be limited at best).
For the jumping-on-people issue there are lots of techniques. First and foremost, don't make eye contact with them or speak to them when they do it. A dog doing this will take such attention as a positive enforcement of the behavior.
Ideally though you will address it prior to really needing it by creating a situation where it occurs instead of waiting for one to happen.
There are many techniques you can find, here's a good video on one LINK. That dog is young and has apparently had some training but the ideas are solid.
Once you can get control of the jumping, move on to the food issue (there are tons of videos on this).

Shock collars are for the lazy beta, unless you own some sort of old world guard dog

Not in this situation.
The GF may be seen as the ultimate alpha in the dogs eyes, though there is a pecking order.
Train it to behave when you’re around. frick what it does any other time.

This does not require a shock Collar at all. Lay some ground rules for the dog and get your girlfriend on board (consistency is key). Never let the dog cross a doorway in front of you, always make them earn their food/treats by obeying a command. Nonchalantly withhold the food/treat until the dog complies. Consistently enforce the rules with agreed upon consequences. Be patient, firm, and consistent. Most dogs will be noticeably better within a day or two. If not, step up the consequence. If your girlfriend goes back on the agreement, consider it a preview of how she’ll raise your children.
