we trained our dog not to do this. Well, we had it easier as we have had her since she was a puppy

The trick is that this is joy on the dog's behalf -- they are overwhelmed with joy at someone coming in. The solution is: when you or anyone else comes into the house, ignore the dog -- even if she is jumping up and down, desperate to get your attention.

Greet everyone and wait for the dog to calm down -- don't even say "Calm down" to her. Ignore her utterly and she will calm down on her own.

After a few days or weeks (depending on the dog) it will take its effect and she will be able to "contain" herself :)
