Why does my dog keep jumping and barking at me?
It’s quite normal for your new puppy to jump up at you when you greet them or feed them, or whine when you leave them alone but continuing excessive begging, nudging, whining, barking, jumping on furniture and bringing you toys as they get older may well be examples of attention-seeking.
Why does my dog aggressively jump on me?
Dogs will typically jump when they want your attention or if they want something you have, like a toy or a treat. If your dog thinks you have something he must have, he may jump on you and bite to get what he wants. They do not know how much biting hurts; it is just a natural reaction for them.

How do I get my dog to stop barking at people?

How do I stop my dog from jumping on people while walking?
If your dog tends to jump on people in the street, give a wide berth and reward your dog for keeping eye contact and attention on you. If your dog jumps on guests, put her behind a exercise pen until she calms down. If your dog jumps on you when you get home from work, don’t come inside until she sits.
