The jumping up thing I'm still working on so the only tips I've received has been to just walk FORWARD to the dog jumping up on you and get the dog to sit once he's fallen from being up on you.

You're going to Sit Happens aren't you?
The jumping up thing is hard to correct as he doesn't jump up on us and it's incredibly hard to have people understand the whole no touch, no talk, no eye contact thing without sounding rude.
