Calling all woodworkers – Knotty Alder door repair

I've done a Google search on this and haven't come up with anything definitive. Our 8y/o house came complete with very pretty knotty alder doors and trim throughout. It was one of the features that really drew us to the place.

The problem is that the previous owners had 3 large golden retrievers who did some damage to several of the doors with their claws.

I'm looking for some opinions on how best to repair this damage. Can some of these scratches be steamed out or am I relegated to sanding them down somehow? Several doors have a couple errant scratches on them but the laundry room door to the garage is pretty well scratched up.

Thoughts?
