Hi, this can be difficult at first but since she is so young she should catch on fast. She should be crated when not supervised and when supervised, you need to remove her immediately when she looks like she is about to jump. You can also attach a leach to her and around your waist so she is always with you and unable to jump on things. Say "off" in a firm voice if she tried to jump, then reward her with a treat when she goes by the table and does not jump. it may take some time but be consistent and she will get it as she grows older. Good luck, i hope this helps!
