New puppies are great! However, my Super Chewer chewed the wood work on the bottom of my door frames as well as the bottom edges of my kitchen cabinets =( . I have a very small budget and would like to fix it myself now that she is no longer chewing on the wood.
On the pine wood it looks like you could just sand smooth and coat with orange shellac. Can't really tell on cabinets. Are they partical board with wood film over it? You could try Bondo as filler and paint to look like wood.
GET some sculpting clay & fill in the gaps. Wipe them smooth using your wet fingers. Allow it to dry overnight, then paint it the same color as the wood. It's inexpensive & you control the build-up & you won't havta worry about sanding or re-staining or any of those carpentry tricks. It's easy & fun.
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.
Ours ate the window sills in 2 rooms and the legs on my antique buffet. My husband used wood putty. It did take several times to fill, sand, fill, sand before it looked right.
I used Elmer's wood putty on my door frame, I had to fill it a little at a time, so that it would harden good. Came out perfect. I think you can sand down the scratched part with a 220 grit or better then re-stain
Use the wood putty but mix in the color of your stain before applying it to the damaged areas. This way it will blend in better, sand and then cover with a varnish or varathane to seal it.

Fill with wood putty. There's products for paint, and stain.

I'm not sure what material the cabinets are? all of the above suggestions seem easy and doable. Thank you all for your suggestions!

Use wood putty to fill in and shape the chewed up areas. Lightly sand then paint or stain.

Wood Putty is the perfect solution for this. Cheap and inexpensive, I'm sure you can order it from Amazon.
