Dogs like this are actually usually very fun and easy to train. They're enthusiastic, ready to go, go, go. Now she just needs to learn a little focus mixed in, some constructive ways to behave. She needs outlets for this energy that will satisfy that zoomie, licky, goofy personality. Does she like to play fetch? Does she like to chase moving objects? Like a rope with a pretend prey animal at the end that you drag around behind you? If she does like these types of games, you can again, get a helper, a bucket and the stuffed animal "prey." You have her on a line. The helper wiggles the toy, you call her to come. She doesn't come but goes to get the toy. The helper promptly puts the bucket over the toy. You call her to come. Use your happy, playful voice and run a little away. She comes. You hold her collar and then immediately release her to go get the prey that the bucket is just now coming off of. She gets to play/chase with it. If she doesn't come, you can give her a little nudge with the long line. But try to avoid forcing her. See if she'll come when she learns the toy is out of reach and it's boring....better off coming to you. Once she gets onto the game, she'll learn that she comes first when called. Then she gets to go chase the prey toy, mouth it, shake it or anything she likes.
Often times these obnoxious behaviors exist because they don't have any other outlet...an outlet that has some relation to what it is they're doing. If it's a prey thing, a prey game. If it's to do with grabbiness about food, then a food type exercise. If it's rushing the door to get out, then going out the door is the reward for self restraint. To me, this wild greeting behavior may have some prey/play ingredient to it...going after moving feet, jumping all over peoples' legs. She just has to learn that humans don't recognize this as greeting behvavior and to learn what they DO respond to. And just in case it has something to do with a prey or play kind of drive, then add in an outlet to satisfy that.
