The cheapest little doggie stairs can be found at CVS drug stores. We have a big stair which we bought from Petsmart. We have little 3 pounders and do not let them jump! They love the stairs!!

Really?!?! I'll have to go look for some!! Baxter is able to jump off, but he just can't get back up! He likes to snuggle, but sometimes he likes his own bed too, so he'll jump down early in the morning and lie on one of his three beds. But he can never get back up to me easily!

I'll have to go check out those stairs! Tomorrow!

Precious (8lbs)does the flying leap too! But I got her at 1 1/2 so apparently she had done this in her old house. She jumps down off the bed, off of the loveseat, it drives me nuts! She spends most of her time on the back of the loveseat looking out the window like a cat! But when anyone in our family comes home its a flying leap off the loveseat & straight to the kitchen door to greet them! I can't stop her I'm just not quick enough!!!!

Same here! Tobie loves to get up on the arms of the sofa and look around (my thought is that it makes him feel tall. lol) but then he will jump from there when he wants down. I told my husband about it and that it concerned me and his response was "He's a thrill seeker"... not helpful! lol. I'm going to buy some doggy stairs but I seriously doubt he'll use them. He really seems to enjoy flying off things. Oh Tobie....

Buster loves to jump from furniture. He's 5.5 lbs, so he's not big but not small either.

Given his energy, it's really impossible for us to keep him from jumping on and off furniture. But our general rule is that if he can jump up to a certain height, he can jump down from it without much worry.

He can jump up on to the couch, so we're not worried when he jumps off the cushions. But he can't jump onto the bed, so we have steps for him to go down.
