Coca Collie Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 I’m worried about my puppy. She’s 7 months old, I know she’s not supposed to jump high. When she’s excited she often jumps really high up, she’s jumped on the table, over large puddles on walks , etc. Yesterday she jumped up onto a bunk bed (the top bunk) and before I could do anything she jumped right back down. I’m worried that something will happen to her or that she will end up with pernament damage. Nothing ever happens to her, she lands on all four feet and then acts like nothing happened but I’m just worried. How do I stop her doing this??

Irish Collie Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 My Jess was in the vets last week for the same reason £601 for sedation and X-rays. Torn ligament in the knee, do your best with the advice you get on here please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Elle Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 I think you are right to be worried. Basically, if that were my puppy I would consider it my job to keep her from doing that kind of jumping, as she is much too young to be doing that. Prevention is a lot easier than surgery for a ligament tear. And a young dog has no idea how to land properly and is not paying any attention, so you have to pay attention for her.
