8month old puppy just wont stop getting excited!

[elephantstone]

So we have two puppies. One of them is good as gold apart from yapping at everything but our border terrier/dachshund we are really struggling to get to behave. Most of the time she is okay but then there is moments when you have to brace yourself becuase her tail will start wagging and she will then start licking you and will not give up trying. It seems like uncontrollable excitment. In the morning aswell we can here her crying and eating the kitchen cupboards before we get up and she has always done a wee whilst the smaller pub is quite happy in bed.

Any suggestions? Could really with her restraining her excitment as she does jump very high and some people dont like it. She is getting better at not jumping up but that depends on just how excited she is.

This isnt going to sound like a great response but,if you're patient they just grow out of it,our Husky was the exact same at that age,run towards everything,jumped on everything and everbody but its just stopped.
Now 2 years old we've got ours going through a stroppy teens phase,"don't do that!","Well,i think i just might?",no you sodding won't!!!",and she'll do it,just a couple of times then she snaps out of it and alls well!;-)Her recall is now great but you can sometimes see that little glint in her eye!
