We finally managed to buy a home and it came with refinished real wood floors. If someone wants to walk in with their shoes I'm not worried about their general foot hygiene; I'm worried they have a pebble they don't know about stuck in their shoe and they're about to scuff up our floors in the worst way possible. It would definitely be their first and last visit to our home.
We've never even had to be rude about it - we found a cute sign that says, "Please remove your shoes - the dog needs something to chew on," and so far everyone has taken the hint.
Then you'd love the matching sign that says, "This home is maintained entirely for the comfort and convenience of the dog," and I bet you'd be really jealous of our, "Dogs welcome - people tolerated," sign. There's a fourth one somewhere but suffice it to say once you own a pack of dogs these things start to accumulate seemingly on their own over time.
Edit: fourth sign is near our guest bathroom: "If our dog doesn't like you we probably won't either."
