How to stop my dog from jumping, biting, and barking at guests?

Question

My 9-month beagle gets crazy when i bring friends home. Starts jumping at them and bites them, barks for atention and runs. This behaviour started a month ago. He used to be quiet. When i try to calm him it gets worse. If i shout NO, he starts barking at me. A month ago he didnt even bark at all. Unless he was playing with another dog. i take him out a lot daily.

Get him acclimated to people so it isn't a big deal when you have company. Make him "work" for everything (food, attention, walks, etc.). This can be as simple as having him sit or wait before being fed, taken out or played with. When company arrives, make him wait to greet. Do not allow him to initiate contact. Use a leash to control him if necessary. A head harness such as the Gentle Leader or Halti can provide a means to control and quickly correct negative behavior. Ignore him when he barks at company. If he jumps up, turn away from him. Be consistent and be firm. Do not yell as this will likely get him more riled up.
