What are your experiences - preferences? Your opinions are very much appreciated.

My entire house is ceramic tile floors.
I have area rugs where i need them.
Yes the dogs slide around if they run or get rambunctious around the house, or if I play fetch with the tennis ball inside, but they don't seem to care in the slightest.
It does tend to slow them down as they have learned exactly how fast they can move around without sliding into a wall.
They like laying on the cool tile to cool off as well.
The tile makes cleanup after an accident a breeze and even makes shedding easy to clean up, especially with leather furniture as well.
Some dogs are very uncomfortable on wood or tile floors though, you'd probably want to check them out on some wood or tile first.
Maybe Cork flooring would be good, less slick, and it's quite a green choice as it is so renewable from what I understand
You would be hard pressed to pay me enough money to have these two girls and carpet in my house.
