Question: If the dog has tasted blood and the purpose was playing with another animal and then "accidentally" killing it, can this dog be re-trained and trusted once again?
Over the years and with the help of research into canine behavior, we've been able to learn a lot about dogs and their behavior. But we cannot enter their minds; therefore we cannot understand purpose -- the dog's intent. We may only make some educated guesses.

Inter-dog aggression at home
I find it very difficult to recommend what I think will work best in a situation when I fear that the owners will reject the idea as inconvenient. Nonetheless, I'll give it the old college try.
I'd like you to consider a change in how you view your yard. I've seen remarkable results when pet owners decide to take back possession of their yard. Turn it into an outside room of the house. Make the yard a people place, not a dog place exclusively.

If then she was to meet the same dog in the park off lead she would most probably interact sociably. " Click "read more" link just below.

Owners often report Inter-dog aggression in a multi-dog household. Sometimes the aggression is very serious. A pet owner reported that her 2 y o f Labrador Retriever was behaving aggressively toward her two older male dogs, one age 6, one age 9. From my experience as a foster care provider, here are suggestions I found effective for introducing a new dog to the household.
