So I just "tested" Archie, and he does a beautiful leave it when it comes to food. I can put treats on his paws, in my open palm, etc., and he won't touch them if I say "leave it." But for some reason he doesn't seem to correlate this command with not sniffing people. I think I'm going to have to wear a treat bag around the house more and work on the leave it command in other circumstances. I hope that if I have treats handy, I can quickly curtail his human greeting habit! (And if anyone has any other ideas for working "leave it," please let me know!)
