Jumping and mouthing

I have a 6 month old golden retriever. I am having a very difficult time stopping the jumping up and mouthing (or grabbing clothes) behavior. I am using clicker training (after first doing traditional puppy training classes, I switched to positive training). She is very smart and learns other things quite quickly but the jumping and mouthing is a toughie to stop. I keep trying to figure out what she is getting from it that is so positive. I try to ignore but since she also mouths and grabs on that is hard to do.
