Bead board, wainscoting, board and baton, Venetian plaster... lots of choices..... BUT... first you need to find out WHY the dog is scratching on the wall..... you might have mice or squirrels back there... and he hears them.... something you need to check out.

Ellis · Answer

Beadboard is nice.

But the real question is, if you put up paneling or board/wainscoting, will the dog scratch that? then the wood is permanently damaged not just with scratches but gouges in the wood. I'd go the spackle and paint route myself, you'll get many repairs out of a few dollars of supplies.

Dog could be bored. Does it have toys to play with? Maybe it is lonely and just wants some sort of attention. Even if you put up or fix this it probably just happen again and again until the situation is fixed.

No he is not bored. He doesn't like the UPS, FedEx and mail man!

Textured paintable wallpaper, it would be cheaper to replace than wood if your dog is still damaging your walls.

Suggest using metal instead of wood for wall wainscoting. Check out home depot or lowes sheet metal or diamond plate (do not use tin ceiling stuff, it's too thin). Possibly a smooth marble/terrazo would work as long as there are no grout lines for claws. I have also seen thick clear plastic Lucite sheets used (approximately 1/8' 3/16' thick) to cover painted/wall papered wall.

Home Depot sells a bead board kit, that is pvc and really nice. They also have the wooden kits. I would sand down the scratches, fix with Dap, sand even then prime and paint.

Hope the dog was not scratching to get out because it was left too long locked up in the room.

Mogie · Answer

Beadboard could be your answer but no matter what you do the dog needs to learn not to damge the home.

I have two rescue puppies that I got less then a month ago. Be consistent and firm not always loving.
