GSD jumping on children

Question
I have a 6 month old GSD, she is very friendly, but when other people, and children come by she has the need to tackle them. How do I correct this?  She truly is a good dog other than this. Will she outgrow this or is there some kind of training?  LMK Thanks , Tracey

Answer
She needs training. Get her into an obedience class immediately. And make sure she is getting plenty of exercise. Twice daily BRISK walks with her at heel. Several times a week make sure she runs or plays until her tongue hangs out.
