way to exited when people want to pet my dog

[Big-pup]

my dog gets way to exited when people want to pet her. However, this tends to occur only when she knows the people. When she doesen't know the person, she will still get exited but will be more cautious about it. When people come up to pet her, she wags her tail non stop, then starts doing circles by running. She is currently 20 months old right now. I have tried everything including the wait command, leave it command, ignoring the dog, and much more. I don't know what to do anymore.

I have noticed that after playing with some of her dog friends, and somebody wants to greet her, she is calm. Which I find odd because I always exercise her for hours then play with her after exercising
she also gets mental exercises everyday.

hope you guys can help

thanks!

Get someone who she gets excited with to help you. When they approach her, the very instant she starts jumping around, they stop, turn around and walk a few steps away. After a few seconds of the dog being calm, the start to approach her again. They repeat the process each time the dog gets over excited. She will soon learn to control herself if she wants to get petted.
