This worked 100x better for my girl than an "m-shaped" board. She took to this on the first day, then I had to practically drag her off of it the next. She did manage to get a tiny cut in-between her toes from an edge during the excitement, however. Not a huge deal, I just took half a sheet of heavy grit sandpaper and rounded off all the edges and corners. It took very little effort or time. Happy I purchased this for my girl with EXTREME paw/nail anxiety, especially since her mobility issues make holding her in place for traditional grooming a dicey proposition. Her quicks grow too fast for anyone to keep up with, so this is going to help tremendously with upkeep. I'm a little anxious that she'll end up quicking herself in a frenzy, but that has nothing to do with the board. Just a gentle reminder for other pet parents to not let their babies keep going at it after a short time. The heavy duty sandpaper works really great, but you don't want that to become a hazard. My vet and a few others I asked online also recommended scratch boards. I'm glad they did!

I like that I can train my dog to file her nails. I don't like the lack of precision she uses which can cause uneven filing and sharpening.

This product is really well made! The edges of the board are smooth, no rough spots. The sandpaper is firmly and evenly attached. It comes with replacement sandpaper, which I have not had to use. (My dog is still learning to use the scratching board.)Like any pet product, it’s only as useful as your pet wants it to be, lol. One of my dogs absolutely hates having her paws touched in any way. The only successful way to trim her nails is to have her sedated and have it done at the veterinarian. I am using this board to help with her nails between those visits.This board comes with instructions on how to train your dog to use it. It’s a game! We sit and the dogs earn treats when they pay attention to the board. First, just when sniffing it or just putting their paw on it, they earn a treat. (I use tiny training treats or individual pieces of kibble). We then progress to scratching the paw down the board.Since my dogs are both food motivated, this is a fun game for both of them, including the dog that has no trouble letting me trim her nails.As mentioned in other reviews, this really isn’t helpful for back feet. Depending upon how your dog scratches, it will be uneven wear on the claws, based on the position of each toe. Won’t work on dew claws either. I purchased this as a supplement to our nail care routine, not a replacement for trimming.

I just couldn't get my dog to be interested enough to dig on the board no matter what I tried. She knew if I hid a treat, all she had to do was knock it over. I guess it doesn't work for all dogs.

I’m in between on this flat scratch board, I saw a more interactive type of board after I got this one.I like the idea & but it could meet a need.We have been presenting it to our dogs & they get it, but they’re not searching for it. I do like the smaller portable paw paddles they come in handy & can get it done as long as the dog doesn’t get too curious or skitzie.The concept ðŸ‘ðŸ½

This was fine, I wasn't overly impressed and my pup that likes to scratch didn't love it either. We ended up returning it but I'm sure if he would have taken to it, it would have worked well.
