Chip jumps on the sofa, hallway bench to look out the window, etc and I am not sure how to keep him from doing this - is that bad for his back.

Bonnie I would like to know the answer in regards to jumping on the sofa also.
Cody always jumps on and off the sofa with his toys. When he plays with his balls, the first thing he does is jump on the sofa with it, then knocks it off with his nose - goes to retrieve it and back up on the sofa to repeat it again. He does this continually for several more times; whether he is playing by himself or if I am playing with him.
This is one of his favorite things to do with his balls; so if this is not good for his back, then I have to somehow put a stop to that.
