[C. Edmund Wright]

The one where the child is full out standing on the dog is just wrong.

Why?

[MarMema]

If the dog moves suddenly the child could take a hard hit on the chin coming down on the edge of the sink.

Better to teach the child to use a real stepstool. I would not have let my children do this.

[MarMema]

Here, ask a veterinarian about children standing on dogs and get back to us.

Or ask a whole slew of veterinarians and a few animal trainers and behavioralists.

Then you will know why.
