Dogs love to be with you all the time and while the rules in your house may let the dog on the couch, be careful how he gets down. I have a maltese who just had surgery to fix his torn ACL for the second time (different legs). This is the same injury a lot of sports players get. Just because they are a little lap dog doesn’t mean they should be jumping up and down or on and off the couch. Be careful with them and if you do let them on the couch or bed, train them to use doggie stairs.
