For defense. They bite if they are protecting something. Like their body, their home, their family, an sometimes their friend. For defense. They bite if they are protecting something. Like their body, their home, their family, an sometimes their friend.

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.

Wild animals attack each other sometimes because they want territory, or want to be leader. Wolves do this, as do lions and tigers.

Some people are nervous or anxious about things and other times people just have the habit and they don't even realize they are doing it.
