We have had both. Our first month with Samson was with all carpet and then we moved to a house with NO carpet at all. He was being potty trained on both and needless to say hardwood flooring is much easier with cleaning accidents. Or if he had a case of bad diarrhea and couldn't make it out in time hardwoods much better. He has never had a problem sliding on the hardwoods unless we really clean them with a wood cleaner then they get a little slick. I even slipped down the steps once but after a day it isn't so slick. The only time I have seen him slide around was on laminate hardwood flooring but we don't have that and he is fine. He still runs around after the cat and plays little bit of fetch and doesn't slip. We absolutely love our hardwoods and believe cleaning is much easier. You will notice with hardwoods that hair will collect in little balls around the house. Just sweep it up and thats about all there is to it. Nothing really for the hair to get trapped in like carpet.
