Yes, we had that problem with our large dog. We had to yell "NO!" and grab him in a forceful manner that was pretty embarrassing in front of the guests, but that was the only way he learned. Luckily our most frequent guests know how to handle dogs, and they would shout "Down!" at him too. But the others were terrified of the dog, then in shock when we yelled at him. These days, he will rush to the door, boop people, but not jump on them. I guess it's an acceptable compromise. If I don't want him to bother guests, I crate him, and if he dares bark in his crate, he gets the bark collar.

So your methods didn't really stop him.  Dogs don't understand the word no and the bark collar sounds inhumane if it shocks him.  You should really tead up on the latest as your methods are very old school[/quote]

So you can't read. We stopped him from JUMPING and BARGING. He does neither now. He touches people with his snout, which we never stopped him from doing.

Also, I have the poorest possible opinion of "positive-only" training. It's for little lapdogs and medium sized dogs, not some large working breeds with minds of their own.
The bark collar works brilliantly. He sees it and stops barking :-) It's not cruel, I tested it on myself and the zap is very mild.

You're the person who continually posts on the Pet forum about how we should read up on the latest. Well sorry, I've read up on the latest and it's drivel.

sorry posted it in the quote, trained a pitbull using positive only works like a charm[/quote]

Thank you pp!  I'm training my dog the same way and it is working.  People who don't understand think it is all positive but there is negative" i that you ignore unwanted behavior and really really praise good behavior.[/quote]

Positive and ignoring works for some dogs. Not others. Just a fact. Let's not judge. [/quote]

Wrong.  Not a fact.  Americanveternary medical association disagrees too.  All dogs can be taught through positive reienforcement.  All Dogs![/quote]
