Lovely to see a Hattie update... I see her granny perm has settled sown and she is looking lovely. Did you managed to get her to stop following you around??

Below is what I have posted previously which was advised by my dog trainer who is a crufts obedience champion!

Have your dog on it's lead in the sit position have a helper walk up to you and your dog, if your dog jumps up the helper must say''whoops'' immediately turn it's back on the dog and walk about ten steps in the opposite direction. Keep repeating until the dog does not jump up ( patience required!!) as soon as it does not jump up REWARD with a treat. After succeeding a few times make it more difficult by the helper approaching the dog in a more excitable way...saying something like hellooo little puppy, or pup, pup ,pup ....it's obviously more challenging for the dog but if you keep repeating the dog will eventually not jump and and again REWARD quickly.
In time the dog will learn to sit when it greets people rather than jump up as he knows that this will get him a reward and jumping up gets him nothing ( that's the theory anyway)...
It's really important not to ''welcome'' a jumping up dog as you are praising and encouraging incorrect behaviour...
You need to try this exercise with different people in different enviroments ...
