But I don't want him to think this is acceptable behaviour.

Whenever he starts getting excited I try to distract him with by telling him NO! or I make him sit and do other obediance training tricks. Should I be doing something else to disuade him from jumping up?
I think teaching him to sit is on the right track. Do not pet him until he sits. No attention from you (or a friend) unless he is sitting. Corgis are smart, he should learn that quickly.
