I added the tag and now I have dog bone carvers... does that also make their fighting skills level up to?

Yup. Any creature who can learn, can learn to fight.

How on earth did you get dog bone carvers though.

A man would see that as a difficult challenge.
An elf would see that and despair.
A dwarf would see that and say, "Bring it on."

It's a shame animals can't be assigned armor.

Large animals should get combat skills like "Charger" and "Mauler"

If you want to see an elephant with those abilities, and don't mind a bit of additional modding, you can actually hard-code elephants to have legendary skills innately without need for danger rooms using the [NATURAL_SKILL:X] tags.

Dear Armok, what if a legendary skilled Elephant (they deserve the respect of a capitol E) tasted Urist McHarbringer-of-the-apocalypse's blood?

Oh wait, I know.  The elephant would utter one phrase:  "I have become Death, destroyer of worlds." Then your fort crumbles to an end.

That's what cages and minecart shotguns are for!  We don't need to control them.  We just need to aim them.

I suddenly have the awesome image in my head of some dwarf trying to negotiate the price of something with a troll clerk, and then the troll goring the dwarf.

Also, can vermin learn? So we could have rat woodcutters, fluffy wambler brewers and monarch butterfly hammermen?

I love to add the can_learn tag to dogs, then I throw them in a pit and they all become legendary in social skills.

The best was when I embarked with 20 such dogs in a haunted wasteland and ogres and werewolves kept attacking.
The first ogre got attacked but was too tough to actually kill so the dogs stood biting it for ages until they had all skilled up to legendary and finally had the skill and strength to kill it.

then I had 20 dogs, (not war dogs) wandering the map killing everything that arrived.
they even took down some semi-mega beasts.
