Turn your back to teach polite greeting
Here’s a technique on how to train a dog to greet people nicely. When dogs greet someone, having their greeting reciprocated is very rewarding. You can use that as a way to train polite greeting behavior: simply ignore your dog until she sits. Only when she sits do you reward her by paying attention to her.
To make this dog obedience training technique even more effective, quickly turn your back on her any time she jumps up. If you do this consistently, most dogs will catch on very quickly that they need to sit to get a hello and all that nice petting.
