Dogs are natural predators. All of them. Humans do not need to train them to "kill things". They already know.
My dogs "kill things". Mostly rodents, with an occasional bird. They would happily kill any of the cats or chickens if they ever caught one. Would they kill a baby? Maybe, maybe not. I'm certainly not going to try to find out. The trick with dogs, you see, isn't so much training them to not "kill things", but to prevent them from having opportunities to kill certain, rather important, things. For example: babies.
