Jumping advice please

[Riverhousepuppy]

Dear doghouse community, I need some advice please.
We have a 6 month old dog who is lovely but keeps jumping up at people. It happens when we see people she loves, like my mum and both my boys. She is aloof with strangers particularly when we are out unless they have dogs then she thinks they are ok. When they say hello she will jump up. I put her on the lead if we see children as I don't want her to jump up, which I don't think she will but would hate to scare a child. I hate dogs jumping up at me and she tends not to do it with me.
I really want to stop this behaviour and can think of things when we are in the house, ie put treats on the floor etc as advised by a 121 trainer, but I worry I am rewarding the jumping not discouraging it. However, when we are out I am not sure what training to do to prevent it. She is our first dog and I have and will continue to do lots if training with her.
Is it something she will grow out of? Any tips, ideas or training anybody can suggest please? Much appreciated x

We definitely haven't fully cracked it but ddog (6months) s jumping up is much improved by making ddog sit to say hello and if she jumps we turn our backs until four paws are on the floor, then say hello.

Our ddog was like a jumping bean and is now

I'm going through similar with our puppy at the moment - I think she's the worst we've ever had for this. she doesn't just jump up, she sort of pummels you.

Mostly at home I just try to ignore her, turn my back on her, and so on. And I try always to praise and reward when she stands still or sits. She's learning, slowly but surely.

If we're out and about, I'll call her in depending on who's approaching and what her general demeanour looks like: if she engrossed in sniffing through the bushes with our older dogs, I'll let her get on with it, but if she's prancing excitedly around I'll call her in. If I have a bit of space between me and her likely target, I'll sit her off-lead, but ready to grab her collar if she makes a break for it.

IME it's a combo of training and maturity that sorts this out - if you don't train the puppy out of it, you'll end up with the sort of dog who jumps all over strangers, but if you keep at it, eventually maturity kicks in and the training falls into place as the dog gets less excitable.

Jumping up is pretty self rewarding so tends not to disappear in maturity unless alternative behaviour is trained.

Brilliant that you have got it sorted at home OP. A dog can not jump up if it has all 4 feet on the ground and is rewarded for having the four feet on the ground (that is what you are rewarding not the jumping up). If your dog is now used to getting treats when they approach you wait a millisecond (hopefully feet will be on the ground) and then deliver the treats so training rather than distraction is taking place.

When you are out and about it is harder because are not consistent in what they do or react. You are right to put your dog on a lead and prevent the jumping up. Reward your dog for focusing on you and wake passed the person.

When she meets your Mum have your dog on the lead and when she is calm she can greet your Mum but only when calm.

I'd recommend LOTS of sitting. Practice behind a stairgate if you need to. Ask for sit, reward, do it again and again. Then hold the treat and wait. Don't say anything. Wait for the dog to sit on its own then reward. Practice a lot, and everywhere and with different people too. You ideally want the dog to always be thinking sit rather than jumping gets rewarded. My puppy sits every time he sees me, for food, after recall, on walks, pretty much every time I stop moving. And he gets rewarded a lot for it. I hate being jumped on and have two small children so it's a behaviour I've never allowed to develop.

Thank you so much everyone for this. Much appreciated
