Izzy's Mom

So my trainer came to an in house session with Izzy and she noticed my puppy jumping on the couch and back on the floor without any problem and she mentioned to me that this is not good for the dog in the long run because it could cause problems in the future.
i also read threads here about people being extra careful with their puppies and not letting go up and down the stairs. I live on th second floor of an apartment complex and since we got Izzy (at 9 weeks old) she has been going up and down the stairs (about 20 steps) 5 + times a day (every time she goes potty or we go for walks) with no problem.
The couch just started recently, about 2 weeks ago where she is able to reach it. I'm okay to stop her from doing that but how about the stairs? Do i need to carry her too every time we go potty???? How careful do I need to be?
