| Will they get used to it? My husband and I installed laminate hardwood floors in our living room this weekend and the girls just cant walk on it. It really makes me laugh just watching them slip and slide all over but I feel so bad for them. Will they get used to it eventually or will they always slip and slide all over. They cant hardly stand on it.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | We have laminate floors as well. Cali will slide if she runs on it. My old pom can hardly walk on it without sliding.

| if they slid enough and fell with their leg wrong, bigtime knee problems. small dogs often have luxating patellas (sp?) as well.

| I have beautiful laminate flooring and my daughter recently got lovely hardwood floors. Both our dogs went through a week or two having trouble walking ---but believe me - they all adjusted very well. However, they still do a little slipping and sliding once in a while. My daughter and I both have some area rugs - do you? Good luck and don't worry? PS: The first time my sister's retriever came over he was totally afraid of my floors and wouldn't even walk on them. After a few visits, he is doing just fine and gets around on them as well as I do. Carol Jean |
