How do you train a puppy not to jump up on children?

Any other tips on training a labradoodle puppy would be great. He is doing well in his crate so far.

JUMPING UP Jumping on people can be bothersome, embarrassing and, at times, even dangerous. Like many behaviors, jumping can be corrected – ideally the sooner the better.Why Dogs JumpDogs jump up on people because they’re excited, they’ve been encouraged to do so or, in some rare cases, because they are being less than friendly. How to Correct Jumping BehaviorAs with most behavior problems, preventing/redirecting the unwanted behavior while encouraging better behavior is an effective plan. Practice "sit". Have your dog sit for everything he enjoys in life from food to petting, from opening a door to throwing a toy. Soon your dog will learn to associate sitting with everything good and this will give him something else to do other than jump. Don’t reward jumping. If you pet, hug or respond excitedly when he jumps, he’ll think you like it. When your dog jumps, step forward toward your dog and say ‘Off!’ in a low tone. (‘Off’ is the preferred command since ‘Down’ is usually used for lie down.) If he puts four on the floor, praise him calmly. Now direct him to ‘sit’ and calmly praise him again. A food reward would be good as well. If he does not respond, try luring him off you with a treat – preferably a piece of his food, – and into a sit. Practicing this can quickly give him an acceptable way to greet you.For Your GuestsConsistency is key to training a dog. Stand next to your guest and practice your greeting routine with your dog. Practice with dog-loving friends who understand that training takes time. If this isn’t possible with some guests, then prevent the issue entirely by confining your dog when your guests arrive. You can always bring him out later, on lead, when things are calmer.http://www.puppychow.com/Behavior/Jumping_Up.aspxHope this helps you!!!P.S. labordoodles are wonderful dogs and easily trainable..you should do just fine with consistency and lots of love!

A good way is to say "down" (or "Off" if you plan to do other training instead of sit and to teach your pet not to jump) in a firm voice and then push down on his head if it requires it, give him eye contact at first but when you get him down look away. If you look back down at him he will take this as a sign you want his attentions at the moment and will start up again. This takes multiple tries sometimes but adding verbal praise for good behavior will speed up the process. Also try teaching you dog to sit first to make the process easier
