Grandson's service dog -68 lb English Lab scratched my leather couch with paws.
Any ideas re restoring leather  appreciated. Scratches are superficial thankfully, but very noticeable. Medium brown leather.

 

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Note to dog people:  Please don't let your furbaby jump on someone else's furniture.  These scratches may be no big deal in your house, but can get you on a no invite list if this keeps up.

 @IMW  A search on amazon for leather repair brings up numerous products.

Shoe polish works very well.  Just buy a polish with a built in brush.  Put on scratch and wipe with a cloth or old sock.  It is amazing!

I once got a little leather paint kit from Amazon. They gave me a mixing tray so I could "match" it to the leather. Needless to say, my matching skills were lacking.

Murphy's oil soap or some other horse tack cleaner should minimize the scratches.
