How to train my dog to stop jumping on other dogs when guests arrive?

Question

Whenever someone enters our house Rey gets excited and jumps on and starts to bite our other dog Finn. There are other times she will get excited and him, I worry that if I don't curb this behavior it might escalate, what can I do training wise to stop her from jumping our other dog when she's excited?

I agree that curbing this behavior is a good idea. The best thing to do would be to train Rey to go to a specific location when someone enters the house. She should be trained to sit and wait until you call her. Begin training with just her. Then introduce the other dog on a leash with a helper. This will take some time and the guidance of a professional trainer may facilitate and speed things up. There is a trainer named Victoria Stillwell who has written several books which may be helpful as well. Best of luck.
