You'll love our helpful training guide, which outlines a simple step-by-step training process to teach your dog to use his ScratchPad for his front AND back feet.
Our ScratchPads are 10" x 24" - big enough for large dogs, and still suitable for smaller breeds. For small dogs, we recommend turning the board on its side.
The sanding surface is an upgraded, professional quality for extreme durability.
These scratch boards can be made with medium or coarse grit paper, or a combination of both grits. Medium grit is a great, all-purpose texture, but you can use coarse if your dog has large or extra hard nails - just make sure to initially keep your sessions short to keep your dog from accidentally quicking his nails.
A double-sided combination ScratchPad will have medium grit on one side and coarse grit on the other.
With normal use as directed for one to two dogs, your scratching surface should last at least 6-9 months.
