Hi & welcome.

She doesn't know the boundaries.

You'll need to put in some consistent training to not only make sure she behaves herself, but so that she knows the rules. Dogs respond best to firm & consistent training.

If she jumps all over you when you don't want her to, tell her "no" and make her get down. Keep your voice firm, but level. Try not to shout & give her a treat when she does as she's told.

To be honest, she sounds very anxious. She has fixated on you because you have been kind to her, but everybody in the house needs to be involved with the training, and any jealous behaviour needs to be nipped in the bud.

She will settle down, but she may take a bit of time.
