How to stop my 10 month english mastiff jumping up.?

Skye jumps up at everyone who walks in the door and being the big girl she is knocks most people flying, she is not doing this in a nasty way she is just very playful. Also when skye gets excited she gets nipy and it HURTS but again it is all playful. Any ideas and has anyone else experienced this. Otherwise she is a lovely big pup and we love her to bits.
Answers:
Just tell her "NO" and shake your finger at her, if she still doesn't understand put her up until after the company comes in an sit's down so they are not being jumped on as soon as they walk in the door! God luck!
Swift blow to the head? Possibly with a curly whirly
1. When someone comes to your house have them not give her any attention until you make her sit and then give her a treat.

2. Everytime she begins to jump on you raise your knee and tell her down. After a few gentle kneeing they usually stop.
I find a curled up newspaper to the back of the head works wonders!
if all else pails, chop his legs off.lol
I have an english mastiff named Leo for 7 years. when i first got him he was 6 months old and loved to jump when i got home from school. I would slap him on the nose and tell him down eventullaly he learned not to jump but it took a lot of time. now he can't jump any more because he has hip displasia but i still love him to death. oh and for your nipping problem it works to take the lip and tuck it under the teeth so when he nips you he will bite himself they learn really fast from this and i learned it in obiedience school with him. good luck with her and remember that they get over 200 pounds
Sorry i think i answered this one
