The rewards of giving your baby boundaries can pay off to the point of saving his life one day. I personally have no problem allowing small dogs on the couch or bed but do not allow them to get into poor misbehavior such as growling, nipping, resource guarding, bolting away, jumping up on people's legs with paws on them and other things anymore than I would a big dog.
