Ideally they are taught when they are young and in a teething stage to utilize chew toys. Once they're adults, if they haven't already developed the habit they might not develop it. Try using chew toys that include a place to insert food, such as a kong. If your dog chews things he ought not chew, keep chew toys handy and when you catch him chewing a forbidden item, trade him an approved chew item for it.

Should you give a three month old lab puppy a rawhide to chew on?

It is perfectly fine to give them rawhides. We gave my lab plenty of rawhides when she was younger. Do be careful when they start getting towards the end when the rawhide gets to be very small. When its small enough to be a choking hazard I would take it away. We do this with my dog now, just so that risk is not there.
