How can I repair dog damaged door frame?

Wow!😬! Maybe cut it out even with the bottom of the window, and replace with new framing?

I'd probably start but sanding it back and seeing what you are left with before actually cutting out any wood. It might be possible to fill and paint. It may also be possible to cover with a piece of trim. Has naughty pup definitely stopped chewing it? You wouldn't want to repair just for them to start again!

Sand it down, then use wood putty to build it up to its original state. Allow to dry completely and sand again between layers of putty. Finally, paint with an enamel, which is more durable than latex/acrylic. Why is the dog chewing it? You have to figure that out to prevent future damage. Perhaps the dog needs to be crated or confined to another space when you're not at home.

Sand it down smoothe, I repaired a similiar door by filling it in with drywall mud and sanding between coats. It is easier to sand and shape than wood filler.

thid might help. I kept this to repair something myself

I have been a "foster mom" for close to 25 dogs over the past few years so I feel your pain!

I would suggest 2 products that you can apply to the damaged areas, sand and paint. Durham's Rock Hard Water Putty or Bondo All-Purpose Putty. I have used both for such projects!

Good luck! Rebecca

I would take out the damaged piece and replace it with Trex type plastic wood. This would be more dog proof, if you still have that dog. A product called Bitter Apple will stop animals from chewing on wood.

I had the same problem from my dog, alli did was wipe it down and used wood filler sand it put more wood filler and paint... if you sand it first the filler has nothing to stick too.

wood filler would be a good start. A lot of sanding will be needed so be patient and don't expect it to be perfect on the first layer. Depending on what that board's function is, you might be able to remove that piece completely. Take it to your local hardware store and ask them to cut a new piece to match. Without seeing the inside of the door (where the lock mechanism goes into the other door), it's hard to tell if that is a decorative piece.

Lots of layers if you are going to do the wood filler. Sand it down until it's smooth. It doesn't have to be level, just smooth. You are going to fill it in until it's level.

Once you fix it, you may want to look into plastic sheeting cut to fit that section so that your dog won't do this again. Wood filler will not hold up well to dog's nails.

Hi. Boy that dog wanted in/out really badly!

-Remove the remainder of the moulding and clean up by sanding the paint flat and filling in the shredded section with exterior caulk.

-Buy a new piece of screen moulding* (which is what the flat piece is called you've removed) and nail in place. Paint entire door to match the other.

-Purchase a piece of plexiglas, have it cut to fit the lower half of each door and using mirror hangers, cover the lower half of your doors. The dog will not be able to get at the wood.

Your pup may need some anxiety training too. Good luck.

*You can purchase pvc screen moulding which is easier to cut using a box cutter.

Looks like standard door casing to me,,just remove whole piece and replace,easier than all of that filling and sanding! I put Tabasco sauce on anything my dog chews on!! Works great!

I would sand down and then cover with vinyl look trim all around

Take your photos down to the home center. Make sure to take measurements, length and width of that piece of Moulding. Go to the door area and show it to them. They will tell you how and sell you the supplies you need. If that piece is just a piece of trim it is an easy fix you can do yourself.

My son used bondo for cars

Once repaired, wiping the door frame/door with a lemon or orange scented liquid should keep the dog from repeating this. However, if it continues, you may need to crate the dog, as previously suggested, until better trained.

Well,,,If you don't have tabasco sauce,try dishsoap!!

I would remove the damaged section, and piece in a new piece of molding.
