As for the why in training war animals: they can act as an effective screen for your outer perimeter, spotting thieves and snatchers before they make it inside. The most important use though is the same as in real medieval wardogs. They're expendable. 2/3 can hold down a werebeast for as it takes to get to cover. One can be used as bait to draw forgotten beasts into traps or keep curious cave wildlife away from fortress entrances. If they lose a foot or get permenant nerve damage or a wound that won't heal, they can be salvaged with a butchers knife. Cruel, but every wounded dog is an unwounded dwarf, and a dog takes 2 years to cook up, compared to a dwarves 15.
