scratches on wood

[pineapplepizza]

last year me an my wife decided to get a puppy and went with a golden retriever. He was small goofy and loved to sit with me on a bench in our yard. It was cute seeing him trying to climb until i noticed the scratch marks on the bench. He's big now and despite that he still manages to add a new scratch here and there so I was wondering if adding a thicker layer of paint can help with the scratches? or is there a paint that's somewhat resistive to it?

Sorry, but there's no real solution to that at the moment and just please trim their nails once every 2 weeks as I do it. My dog likes to scratch the door as the way to knock whenever I forget him outside (silly Tomtom, silly me). But anyway, consider adding scratch pads with the temporary adhesives. Those are built for THAT purpose.

I think you can try a thicker coat. I'm not sure there is something you can do other than proper training hahaha. Scratch resistant paints like epoxy could do. And then add clear coat.

A thicker layer of paint might offer a little more buffer, but it's probably not going to be a long term solution against a determined but cute dog. I agree with the peeps above, train them or trim their nails or both

Thanks for the suggestions here, guys. I will try a thicker coat. I have a husky who likes to scratch too
