So i've captured a bunch of these. Sending them to a pit gave me some bad results. They broke free during tranfser and started freeing othesr and all kinds of jazz. Two dwarfs died before the militia quelled the rebellion.

Can't I tame them? Is there any use for them at all?

Also, how the hell do you train hunting dogs/war dogs? I have a tame, non-pet dog, but when I try to train it says that no trainable creature is available.

if they killed somebody they can no longer be tamed, or that was how it went in past versions. as for the dog i don't know what the problem might be

creatures that have tasted dwarven blood (any dwarf of your civilization, even those not in your fortress) are labled as enemies. they can be tamed but will always be hostile.
many animals are [exotic] and can only be tamed with a dungeon master, which is currently bugged, you need to remove the tag in their raws to tame them.

The dog needs to not be in a cage or on a chain.  If the dog is in a burrow, the Kennel also needs to be in the same burrow.  And the dog needs to be an adult (not a puppy) and not already a pet of any dwarf.

It can also not be in a pasture/pen
