Seriously though, all training aids can work, but so does good training!
When I got an 11 month old Great Dane from rescue he turned lead aggressive after being attacked by a Staffie. After that he got walked on a loose lead and if he so much as looked at another dog he got a squirt of water from a bottle....cured in 3 days.
Job done!

Eddie,as you can see from my avatar, My Gilligan jumps up on me, but he will only do it when asked, never other wise, he is 10.5 stone and would knock over the unsuspecting, so being really strict is imperative, this is a bit of a trick to show the height of a wolfie and most wolfies will do this, however, a lab is also a big heavy dog and should never be permitted to do this unless you specifically want this but not a good idea really!!
Every time he jumps up, you must immediately push him down and with a quick but firm reprimand.
Remember there are no circumstances to which he is permitted to jump up.

as well as the correction, we dealt with it with ours by teaching sit for a treat. Visitors to the house are given a treat to meet the dogs with and are told to tell the dogs to sit before giving it (DH and I are always there to reinforce and correct bad behaviour) It pays off fast, our dogs only have to meet visitors now for the bum to hit the carpet.
I know some folk don't agree with them, but I used one of the sonic ones for my dog. He had a terrible habit of barking when he was left alone (either when I was out or when I was in bed). The sound didn't appear to cause him any discomfort - it just distracted him. I only had to use it for a few weeks and it solved the problem and it cost me under a tenner on line.
