    Barbara this is a tough one. Is it plexiglass?

    I hope you find a solution. I’ll be following this one.

    Depending how deep they are & if glass is coated polishing compounds, maybe toothpaste https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JErQ72NH4jA MORE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1B_puVXtxk

    Step 1

    Apply a drop of polishing compound to the buffing pad. Polishing compound is a fine powder used by jewelers and glass craftsmen for polishing gemstones and glass. It can be found at craft stores, glass retailers and home improvement stores.

    Step 2

    Buff the compound into the scratch using a gentle, circular motion. As you buff, check in on the progress of the scratch by wiping the compound away using a clean cloth. Continue buffing until the scratch has disappeared.

    Step 3

    Soak the sponge in rubbing alcohol then wipe the surface of the glass. Clean all traces of polishing compound from the glass.

    Step 4

    Dry the glass using a lint-free cloth. The scratches should be less noticeable and faint. If they are still deeply embedded, contact a glass professional for replacement or professional scratch removal.

    A dog wouldn't be able to scratch real glass unless there is some kind of coating on it that the nails would be able to scratch. I would check to be sure they aren't plexiglass or have a coating of some kind on it.

    Training your dog is the only long-term solution, OP.


    I love my dog so much but it constantly did the things that irked me most. It would chew on things that it shouldn’t or jump up and down out of the blue. Whenever I put on the leash, it would pull on it. Whenever it was out of the house, it would continue digging on the ground - I wish I could tell what it was looking for down there. All the things it did left me feeling depressed as if I failed it monumentally.


    But since I discovered Brain Training for Dogs and applied the system offered, it now behaves the way a beautiful dog I always expect of.
