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:
Teach it some discipline before it grows too big and kills someones baby.
No dog should ever get nippy!! Its called biting. Get a grip.
Just simple discipline. Good luck!!
When she jumps on you put out your knee like you are kneeing her, she might fall backwards but it will teach her not to jump up. Also, if she is really hyper when you get home, ignore her until she calms down a bit before recognizing her and talking with her. She will start realizing that when she is calm is when she gets attention.

When she nips, grab her nose firmly in your hand and say NO in a stern voice. Another good dominance lesson is to roll her on her back and hold her there until she stops squirming or yelping - it doesn't hurt her it just makes her realize she isn't dominant. you can let her up when she relaxes. You really need to be the boss of her dog instead of her walking all over you
OMG do you have a studder
