(yes really!). Love the look of the floor otherwise and don't really want
to change it - does anyone have any suggestions on what we could use to stop
it scratching and marking - non-slip of course!

We have poliurethane lacquer (several brands available) - which is not completely immune to scratches from the dog's claws, but after 3 years they barely show near the door to the garden. It's a bit of a pain to apply (need to re-sand the floor, then apply multiple coats and leave to dry in between, and it's not exactly a pleasure to smell).
The other option is to ignore the scratches, just buff them with some wax/polish and wait for them to get more uniform (look at any stately home's floors - they are not pristine, but they can look nice because they are scratched all over, not just in a few places).
