I have read here on YT that is't not good for yorkies to be jumping off sofas and I understand why. Everything that I have read concerning this is talking about the smaller yorkies (4-7lbs) Coco is 11lbs and like most yorkies she is VERY energetic. She loves to run around the living room and be chased. She jumps up onto the sofa and then she jumps off, runs around a bit more and back up onto the sofa and down again. We have hard wood floors but we have an area rug in front of the sofa so it helps a little. Keep in mind that when we built our house we didn't have Coco and I have allergies so that's why we didn't put carpet in the house.

So, should I be crazy worried about her hurting herself since she's not a smaller yorkie?

Thank you
