Experienced dog owners will take the initiative to purchase some "scratching boards" during the process of raising dogs. Their main purpose is to sharpen the dog's claws. In the process of raising dogs, many parents will have a trouble, that is, dogs often like to scratch the floor or walls with their paws, leaving paw prints on the neat walls. So why do dogs like to scratch the wall with their paws? In fact, the most fundamental reason is that they are grinding their claws.

Every dog ​​has toenails, and they are constantly growing. Toenails can be said to be dogs’ weapons, but too long toenails can also affect the dog’s normal life (such as walking, etc.). Therefore, dogs will find ways to sharpen their claws and keep their toenails at a reasonable length. The way to sharpen their claws is to scratch the floor or scratch the wall. In addition to claw grinding, there may be another reason why your dog scratches the wall. That is to leave one's own scent in a wider area and mark one's territory.

This is enclosure behavior, which is the nature of the dog and cannot be changed. But there are still some ways to prevent your dog from scratching the wall again. For example, buy a large enough wooden board for your dog to sharpen its claws. In addition, parents can also spend some time trimming their dogs' nails regularly. If a dog has no toenails, even if it scratches the wall, its destructive ability is limited.
