May not be able to overcome the fear but it isn't that hard to read dog body language and determine if there's really any danger. It would probably also help to use Tasers and pepper spray more and firearms less. Cops shoot dogs way too often. I haven't heard of training for that either but maybe its time has come. They have also started handcuffing and detaining firefighters at the scene of an accident. With victims still on the ground. I think it has less to do with the specific training, but the overall attitude. Treat every single person (or animal) as a threat. Treat them as 'the enemy', and take absolute control of the situation, period. It's drilled into them in training: everybody you encounter could mean to do you harm.

I think a dose of pepper spray would have done the trick. Some people are just scared of dogs.

I have always been a "keep your pets inside" kinda lady, but killing innocent animals who are otherwise doing no harm is unconscionable. In fact, the murder of animals is one of the telltale signs of larger, uglier problems later on.
Agreed, it takes a special kind of sick to do shit like that.
