Another great idea would be for
you to take her for a refresher class, so that she develops similar respect for you as for your DH. I suspect that no one taught you or him how to properly discourage jumping when she was little. It also sounds like she is getting to be a bit "pushy", typical of some adolescent dogs, which is why they usually end up at class again at that age

Ways to discourage jumping:
Ignore it, make no eye contact and turn your back or disappear into the bathroom. That way, you aren't "rewarding" it, even inadvertantly.
Get her to do something
else. "No" means nothing, but you could try to ask her to "sit" instead. "Sit" earns a reward. Jumping earns nada.
Catch her being good!!!! We often want to punish the jumping up (ineffective anyway - they jump on people they don't respect or fear, and they don't learn a good alternate behavior), but we seldom reward good behavior. If you catch her with all four paws on the floor, reward it.
