None of my 3 boxers jump on people . But they were trained from the start not to . It can be done , but now that she is used to jumping it will be harder and take longer .
You have to keep her on lead .
When someone is approaching step on the leash , leave only enough length of leash for her to stand and do not let them pet her .She will not be able to jump as there is not enough slack in the leash for her to jump .
And your hands are free to reward & praise her . If she stays down reward her and lots of praise. She will eventually learn that she gets no attention/reward from jumping but will get rewarded for not jumping . Even pushing her off or talking to her is a reward so be sure she is not getting attention from the other people -just commands from you .
You can even put her into a sit or down before the person get too close .Keep repeating the sit/down command as much as you need to remind her to stay . If they are down it is easier to see when they are going to get ready to get up / jump .
You have to be consistant with not allowing any jumoing at all . Or she will be confused as to why she can jump sometimes and not others .
Once she is very reliable at not jumping on people . You could train her to only jump on you by command -if that is what you want .
