Is there anything you can use to get claw marks out of leather car interior?

Question

One of my dogs rides like a champ, but the other one goes absolutely CRAZY in the car. She likes to bark at everything she sees out the window, and in addition to that, she claws at the door panel. As a result, there are several little "nicks" in the leather under the window. They're not actually scratches, more like just little dots where her nails punctured the material. How can I get rid of them?

You don't say what make car . . . . the more expensive the car, the softer the leather:  not easily worn-thru - will last virtually forever if cared for - but will show scratches easily.

Hopefully, the car maker or an upholstery shop can furnish matching leather to replace those that are damaged.  It won't be inexpensive.

Clipping Fido's nails helps.
Saddle soap is good or something like

Can hide the marks. 
If there are holes there are holes.not much you can do to fill in the holes.

If there are lots of holes something like this.

Try rubbing them with saddle soap.  And get some liners for the seat covers.  Try Weathershield.

If it's punctured, I'm not too sure. But burnishing the minor ones could work.
