How can I fix my window sill that my dog has destroyed with her nails?

Question

I'd like to put some plexi glass over it once repaired as my dog thinks she can attack the mailman through the window. The paint is all gone but that's the easy part. It looks like any filler is gone and the wood is starting to be destroyed as well.

Sand any loose paint and remove all sanding dust. Then apply a wood filler and sand that with very fine sandpaper. Again, remove the sanding dust. Repaint with an oil-based paint, then cover with the Plexiglas. Just know that the Plexiglas will eventually scratch, leaving it cloudy looking.

you can get wood putty at any big box store to fill in the missing wood, then paint before putting the plexiglass.

make sure dogs nails are maintained regularly. Sand and repair wood, paint.

Cut a board to size that covers window sill. Paint. Dog will destroy cover board. Plexiglass will work too - but more expensive... you could always train your dog to not attack window..... or not allow them into that room....

Putt in a partial window sill or cut the one you have there. There will be no place for the dog to grab. She needs some obedience lessons.
