Try having him to lengthy downs. Start of asking for a down for one minute. If he gets up replace him. Increase to 3 minutes, 5 minutes, keep adding time (for up to 30 minutes). Use this when you have company over till he settles down. If he helds his down and appears calmer than let him greet (still on leash). If he doesn't settle down than I would recommend the same as I did to the OP: instruct visitors no voice to the dog, no eye contact, no physical attention and return him to the down.
We started doing this with our dog and it works incredibly well if it is enforced.
I Agree, I wonder what kind of collar they are using for the corrections..

I actually do this on a flat collar... We practiced several times a day w/o distractions before we moved this into our response every time someone comes to the door. It is a not a quick fix however doesn't happen after two guests. But things are to the point know that when people come to the door Magnus puts himself into a down until he is released--meaning he now knows an appropriate and alternative behavior that isn't compatible with charging the door or jumping on houseguests.
