Answer 3

If by gnaw you mean nibble, they do it because they are either a puppy and/or are teething. To help prevent it, you need to buy rope/rubber chew toys. For example, one of the ones that occupy a dog alot are toys like Kong toys. You fill em with dog food or dog treats and the dog has to work to get the food out. It not only occupies him and prevents biting and gnawing, but it builds his strategy skills.
