None of mine jump. I trained them from the beginning to use the ramps or stairs so they never learned, which is fine by me as they don't jump off furniture and can't get up where we don't want them.

do you mean on people, up onto the couch, or off of things? my Tank will jump up on my legs to get my attention, but Joey doesn't. They will both jump onto the couches (they are allowed, of course), but Joey has this OCD type of thing where he needs "prep jumps" before he will get up. He will get down on his haunches, then kinda hop with his front feet between 5 and 10 times before actually jumping up. He also jumps from the couch arm to the recliner when we have our feet up. So funny! Dangerous I'm sure, but hey...he's a pretty sturdy boy. Both of my boys also jump off of the couches, beds, out of the car, etc...they're quite courageous with jumping, but I could see a tiny one not wanting to do that so much...Joey is 5 lbs and Tank is 4.
