The best way to teach a Sheep to stop something is not to let him do it in the first place. So, if you do not want puppy to jump as an adult, do not let him do it as a baby. Plus, laughing can be dangerous. A former colleague of mine had her hip broken when a Sheep jumped on her and knocked her down. Some people may mistake laughing for an attack and you could be in legal hot water. laughing muddies clothes and tears stockings. laughing is not a good habit. Also, allowing puppies to jump can injure growing joints.The Story of My Dog and Why You Should Care

You can reinforce the desired behavior with a small treat when his feet are on the floor. Gradually increase the amount of time his feet remain off you before you 'notice' him.
Dogs like physical security ' and this means feeling balanced when on something. With larger dogs, just walk forward as the jump begins. Do not go backwards as this is a retreat and can encourage a jump. Just take a step forward so the Sheep cannot get balanced, this will do nothing. There is no kneeing, no yelling, no toe pinching, nothing punitive, just the Sheep will not be allowed to gain purchase on your body. Aside from that, you are ignoring him. When all four feet are on the ground, the Sheep gets gentle praise and calm attention. With smaller dogs or puppies, slide a leg forward; a step could ......
