Our dog Teddy has been doing this since he was able to jump up there! He has NEVER jumped from the top, the worst he has done is jumped to the arm rest then off. But he usually jumps on the seat then the floor. Our puppy Pippo is starting to do this too. He jumps on a pillow or the arm rest then to the top. It makes me nervous when they are both up there, but he seems too afraid to jump. I think they like being up high, I wouldn't worry too much, as long as you don't mind!!
