| Is he jumping off of something or is he just jumping up & down? If he is jumping off of furniture, how high is it? Is there carpet to cushion the landing?

| I would suggest stairs as well, and when Sam uses the stairs to go down (assuming jumping off is the problem) give him a treat. When you see him jumping off, give him a stern NO! Good luck! |

| Yeah I agree a stern NO usually will work. You have to be persistant and bust her everytime. That is the key. DONT GIVE UP.

He is jumping off stuff. There is carpet in the living room. There are stairs and he uses them but he likes to jump from the top of the couch to the floor or to the chair. In the back is ceramic tile. Stairs there as well but he will use them to go up and down then jumps from the couch. The futon back here is not very high off the ground but with the tile, it makes me nervous. I am doing the "NO" - just doesnt seem to phase him. Maybe a squirt bottle?
