Hey Jehn, moose loves to jump up and down when he meets new people or when a friend (person) comes over. What we have been doing is training him to jump once then sit. We really really enforce the "SIT" command for everything. Before he goes in the door he sits, before he eats he sits, before I get him water he sits, when someone rings the door bell he barks once then I go investigate while he sits and if it's ok I tell him to go get them (say hi), and then sit once he's done.
Try to make his 'happy time' a command so that you can control it more. That's my method at least, I`m sure there are a lot more.
If he knows "jump" then you can say jump then sit. Then give him a treat so he knows he can do it once then sit and get rewarded.
It takes time, I`ve found the best time to train is before feeding them it's like making them work for their food.
Be sure to post pictures too
