We have steps for Huey to get on the bed. He has free access. We got the stairs when he kept trying to jump up and the bed was too high for him to make the jump. He kept bouncing off the side until he would finally scramble up there. He always uses the stairs to get up but is about 30/70 with using them to get down. 70% he still jumps off the bed to the hardwood. I hate it and know how dangerous this is for him, but this is my same daredevil who leaps from sofa to recliner and who's favorite spot to sleep besides the bed is the top of the back of the recliner. He has jumped from there a couple of times and his daddy has given him a stern talking to...but I could see the fear in Jeffs eyes when Huey went flying across the room from that height
We try to watch for signs he is gonna jump, like gathering himself for the leap and we tell him "NO". So far, that seems to be working. Now, when getting off the bed, most often he walks to the edge and drops lightly to the ground. It is the excited, flying leaps that scare me.
