Lola doesn't get on the couch, and I hope it stays that way. Mia, my chihuahua, spends most of her day there though and jumps off all the time. It bothers me because we have wood floors, so I know it's not a soft landing. I thought about the steps, but then I would have to get a set for every chair and couch we have. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that Lola never figures it out.
