|Does she only do it when you're coming through the door? And does she know the 'off' command?
I would start by when you come in, ignore her completely. If she jumps on you, turn around and leave without a word. Give her 40 seconds to a minute to calm down and try again.
The number one thing is consistency. So the ways you mention won't work if she is allowed to get away with it just one time, or she'll learn that she just can't jump on certain people, but everyone else is fair pouncing!
I just saw the walking tidbit, oops.
Does she walk loosely on a leash? And where do you walk? If not that may be your first goal. Dogster Asher has a GREAT article / guide to train Loose Leash Walking (LLW).
You can find it here:
One of the main focuses of LLW is the dog focusing on you, not other people, dogs, birds, or cars.
If using Asher's article, start in your kitchen/living room. Once the pup has a hold of it there, go outside to the backyard, then the front yard, and then you can start advancing to different areas. But for right now, public or busy places might be too much haha. If it's absolutely needed you walk her someplace busy, grab her attention and distract her as people go by. Yummy treats or a tug toy should do the trick! If the person is just too close and you can't get her attention, move back 5 - 10 feet (if you're able to) or start walking the way the person is, so the pup's back is to the person and continue to try and grab their attention and get them to LLW.
Best of luck to you C:
