It depends upon whether you want to have an adult lap dog. Whatever behavior the puppy gets used to and views as normal and acceptable will not stop once the dog ages. If you don't want a dog that jumps onto furniture or into your lap once it's grown, do NOT allow that to happen while it's a puppy. Always play with the puppy or pet the puppy at its own level - on the floor.
