3. Don't buy a glue-down floor, get the snap-in. Glue floors are SO hard to install and if you make a mistake, the snap in you can pull back up and re-do

Good luck, and take pics
All of the above is right on. Don't get the glue kind either.

And don't buy
Shaw. Good flooring, but their "new" snap system (as of a year ago) sucks. The old one was much better.

To help with sliding Yorkies, use area rugs. (Also, can bring through a main or accent color in your room.) We made sure that when we rearranged the furniture once I finished the floor that the biggest of the area rugs was in front of both the love seat and couch. That way, Ozzie had traction for getting on and a cushioned area for jumping off. I thought it would be a harder adustment for he and Toby the Cat than it's been, but it really hasn't.
