Someone here (Battmain, maybe?) suggested a slightly harsher method that involved grabbing chest skin. I tried that with Archie, and he's never jumped on me again. It also comes in handy because if he goes to jump on someone else, I just have to put my hand on his chest and he gets the message.
I hesitate to use harsh methods but if it doesn't really hurt, and is a solution that yields quick results rather than months or years of struggle (not to mention potential for injuries), then I can see the benefit.
