Scratched dining room table

[falkster]

I have a large solid oak dining table that is now covered in scratches. I have a dog that is retarded and had a habit if trying to get as high as possible such as sitting at the top of the stairs, standing on the back of the sofas and an odd time standing on the dining room table.
Since moving they have their own room so would never have the run of the house unless we're here.
Somehow she, or the other dog has framed her, has climbed onto the table covering it in deep scratches and surface scratches where she must have been walking around on it!!! Dosey bleeding dog.
Any ideas?
It's stained and varnished so not as simple as a sand down.

Could maybe try a furniture wax to try and fill the scratches, otherwise it will probably need rubbing down and restaining.
