Build nail-care practice around a little reward
The Pawtique Dog Nail Scratch Board with Treat Compartment is a manual training board for dogs that pairs a black abrasive scratching surface with a recessed reward compartment beneath a sliding lid.
Key features
- A defined scratching area: The black abrasive top provides a surface for voluntary paw-scratching practice.

- A place for a reward: The recessed compartment holds a treat during a supervised introduction.
- Cord-loop pull: The small loop provides a pull point for moving the lid.
Product details
The pictured configuration is a scratch board with its sliding lid. Treats are demonstration props.
How to introduce the board
Let your dog explore the board and reward voluntary interaction. Keep sessions brief and supervised; never press or drag a paw across the surface. Pause to check individual nails and stop if your dog appears uncomfortable.
Care and limitations
A scratch board may not contact every nail, including dewclaws. Inspect the board and abrasive surface before each session, and stop using it if any part is damaged or a nail shows irritation. Store it out of reach between sessions to prevent chewing.
Scratch board FAQs
Does this board need power or charging?
No. This is a manual scratch board with a sliding lid, not an electric nail grinder.
How do I reach the treat compartment?
Move the top panel using its cord-loop pull to uncover the recessed compartment. The compartment is beneath the sliding lid; it is not a separate pull-out drawer.
Are the treats shown in the photos included?
The treats are demonstration props.
