  Oh, be very careful of allowing the tiny dogs to jump, especially not big jumps.
 As the owner of a 3 lb. Yorkie who dislocated a shoulder that would not heal, I urge you to get a set of stairs or a ramp for your babies to use as they are too small to put that much stress on such tiny and unstable joints as these very small dogs have as the result of improper breeding practices.  My tiny baby had a stairs to use for the couch and the bed and still her tiny shoulder joint could not take the stress of all the jumping she did.
 
 If you want to protect your dogs as much as possible and want to save thousands in vet bills, endless hours nursing them, casting/surgery, vet trips and heartache and pain, get them some way not to jump at all, preferably a ramp and corral their jumping as much as possible.
