Voting Question: My dog sheds & house has hardwood floors Any dog clothing that can cover his hair & feet so dog can come in?

30/08/11

I am currently renting a room in a luxury custom built home. The homeowner lives on site and pretty much wants his home to stay immaculately clean so he can show it off to potential clients as he is still trying to build houses. The house has some very nice Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors throughout. I love the place and it fully accommodates all my needs except for one. That need/ want is to have my dog be able to be around me when I am inside and sleeping at night. Unfortunately for me, my dog is a 55 lb St. Bernard Border Collie mix so he tends to shed a good bit. I try to keep it under control as best as possible with regular washings and brushings using the Furminator but still the homeowner flips out every time he even sees just a few stray dog hairs inside and the idea of having a dog walking about on his hardwood floors… well you can imagine. Unfortunately this means that my once primarily inside dog has now become a full time outside dog and we live in steamy hot SC. Is there any kind of clothing for my dog that I can purchase to cover his body so his hairs wont be falling onto the floor and anything that can cover his paws so he can be able to come and live inside with me?
I do know better than to be clothing him when he’s outside. I was just trying to find an easy on off jacket of some sorts and shoes to put on him for when he came inside only. Shaving him is not an option as a few groomers have stated that if done his nice silky feeling and looking coat will never grow back looking as nice as its now. If done his hair will have a different texture and will lay differently.
