So serious question here...

How do I get my dog to stop jumping up?

Whenever he greets a stranger he gets all hyped up and then he comes to me desperately wanting me to pick him up.
He jumps and jumps even if I tell him to stop.
Pulling at my clothes, almost like he's trying to get away.
When he falls on his back I can't help but pick him up and then I tell him to calm down.
His hearts racing and I calm him down.
I then say to him I will put you down now.

He stays still I put my hand on his chest and tell him to calm down.

And he resumes his normal behaviour.

Doggie needs training. The jumping is aggressive behavior.

@4meAndyou I'm doing the best I can right now.
Until I can find a dog class.
Our main issues are his crate, and this jumping business which isn't all the time.
I think he feels neglected but he doesn't understand soft play so everytime he gets over excited I have to stop the game immediately.
He did make some doggie friends but they come out at like 10am. I don't want to get him into that routine as I am looking for a wfh job.
