We had 2 yorkies that always jumped off the bed or couch or whatever. Now, we always tried to set our dogs down from the bed, but occasionally, if they heard the refrigerator or microwave, down they would go, no problem. Never anything high, like the back of the couch or off the front porch. So when I got a new dog, Moses, I put him on the bed just like the other 2. He jumped off and broke his leg! I just never thought that would happen! He is built differently, he is longer and his legs are longer. My other 2 are little, short stubby things. So, now, after a trauma, he is a three legged dog and if I don't watch him, OFF the bed he goes. He has jumped down probably 4 or 5 times in the 8 months we've had him; once with his cast on! So, we watch him constantly, but he does jump and try as we can, we can't stop him. |
