It works on the same instinct as a scratching post, and most dogs learn it in a few short sessions with treats. Solid wood construction, and it arrives ready to use with nothing to build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eYour dog does the work:\u003c\/b\u003e they scratch, the surface files.

Then reward a paw touch, then a scratch. Keep sessions to a couple of minutes and finish while your dog is still interested. Most dogs take a few days to get the idea, and front paws come first — back nails usually still need clipping. Check nail length as you go, because a dog enjoying the game can overdo it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow does a scratch board work?\u003c\/b\u003e Your dog drags their front paws down an angled abrasive surface, which files the nail tips. They control the pressure, so there is no cutting into the quick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWill it do the back nails too?\u003c\/b\u003e Generally no. Scratch boards are a front-paw tool. Most owners still clip or grind the back nails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow long does it take to teach?\u003c\/b\u003e A few short sessions with treats for most dogs. Dogs who already offer a paw on cue pick it up fastest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it better than clippers?\u003c\/b\u003e It is better for dogs who are frightened of clippers or have been quicked before. It is slower than clipping, so it suits maintenance rather than a first cut on long nails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoes it need assembly or mounting?\u003c\/b\u003e No. It comes ready to use and sits on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWill it slide around while my dog uses it?\u003c\/b\u003e At 1.25 kg it has enough weight to stay in place for most dogs. Hold it steady the first few times while your dog learns the motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage includes:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 x wooden nail scratch board, individually boxed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PETHART","offers":[{"title":"Angled Scratch Board \/ Individually Boxed","offer_id":55266055979380,"sku":"CJFT309799301AZ","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/3723\/7876\/files\/e01755d6-0a9d-46d5-9081-cf7da4e190b8.jpg?v=1788268986","url":"https:\/\/pethart.co\/products\/wooden-dog-nail-scratch-board","provider":"PETHART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
