If he has a leash on, step on his leash to prevent jumping up. You can also turn your back to him or bring a knee up so he can't jump up on you. Being a puppy, he's going to get excited when he sees his favorite person. Ignore him completely for 15 minutes upon your return or until he calms down. Praise him when he complies and correct inappropriate behavior immediately.
