Sort of? I'd actually recommend a greater fear of of UNtrained attacking dogs than trained ones. A trained dog CAN snap - it happens! - but it's a very, very, very rare occurrence. Under normal circumstances the behavior of a police or military dogs is under control - and it is not actually trying to seriously hurt the person it attacks.
