Ellie is about 5 1/2 pounds and we live with my Grandpa who is blind. Yes, she has gotten her paws stepped on before but not just by him. We all step on her but she has learned to move. I would say never step over your dog but always walk in the path you want even if he/she is laying there. When you pass your dog just shuffle your feet and make it move. It has worked fine for us and bigger dogs get in the path just as much and when they jump they can knock you over. Just my two cents worth.
