Good for training them not to jump: When they jump on you squeeze paw at the knuckle point (wrap your hand around their paw and put pressure so as to squeeze the knuckles together a tiny bit) with just enough pressure to cause them to wimper. Say, "DOWN" and put them down where you want them. It doesn't take long before they know what DOWN means and you no longer have to squeeze their paws.

**I'm not talking about squeezing really hard...they'll let you know when it is bothersome to them***
