Stop Jumping

I have been trying to get my dog from jumping up on people - it is very annoying and people just do not even want to come over because she is always jumping all over them. And I do not want to have to put her in a room all day. It is not fair to her either but I can not have her jumping. I have been working out it and I think we are progressing but I don't know. It is like 2 steps forward and one step back every week. Here is an article I came across...

Jumping: Strategies to Ground Your Dog
If your dog jumps up to greet you and your visitors, it's time to teach him that NOT jumping is more rewarding. Here are jump-stopping strategies from the pros. Be sure to read them all. Some of the experts offer overlapping advice, but you'll find gain insight and improve your skills by reading each section.
1. Liz Marsden's approach starts with the question: "What do you want your dog to do instead?"
How about "sit"? Teach your dog "sit," using treats or a toy for motivation and reward. Start in a teaching environment free of distractions. After your dog really gets the cue, introduce distractions one at a time. For example, have several guests visit your home. Have the leash and treats ready.
Liz, who is a DC-area Certified Pet Dog Trainer (CPDT), suggests this smart stop-the-jumping strategy: Leash your dog. Hold the leash. Stand 6 feet back from the door. Step firmly on the leash 18-24 inches from the dog's collar � about where it naturally hits the floor as it hangs from the collar. Treat every time he sits ... but eventually transition to an intermittent reward schedule.
Call your guest to come in. If your dog attempts to jump, he can't because you're stepping on the leash. If you dog is focused on your guest, your guest can ask for a sit -- but ust once. If the dog is jumping, the guest should say nothing. Ignore. After a few minutes, your dog will likely settle down because he realizes the jumping isn't getting him what he wants. As soon as his butt hits the floor, reward him. Your guest should say Yes! and quickly feed your dog several tidbits. Next, repeat this exercise. "End the training session when the dog is sitting fairly quickly, or start with a new �guest' and repeat the process. If your dog barks at your guest, he or she should immediately walk out the door and try again in 30 seconds (during the lull, you can remind your dog about sitting). .......
