I thought about this not long ago, i would be inclined to say yes. i mean they are essentially like wild animals, which do respond to select methods ie. they try and bite they may have a shock collar or otherwise therefore assuming this you could get them to respond to the same stimuli. ie. they dont eat you, they get food.
of course even if i had the opportunity to try i wouldn't ^.^

No i don't think they are. You could obviously goad them into attacking something or someone, but they would always eat your brains the moment you wern't looking.
My apologies I must have missed that for some odd reason... Anyways I think he couldnt train them but more aim them. With people of course but aim them at a city we dont like and let them loose. This isnt training but they do have military futures in my mind!deltasniper1640 said:
Depends on what Zombie legends you lend to. If you, like myself, lean towards the Max Brooks Zombie, then no, they are not.
I'm going to assume from your examples that you mean the Dawn of the Dead remake that aren't 'proper' zombies anyway.deltasniper1640 said:
I make this assumption because if you had meant the original Dawn of the Dead you'd subscribe to the Romero mythos, which if you'd seen both Day and Land it is shown that they still possess capacity to learn.
Don't get me wrong, i prefer my zombies to be nothing more than mindless eating machines, a la Max Brooks, but for the love of God, don't come on here spouting beliefs about what 'proper' zombies are only to list a remake and the freiking Resident evil films.
Actully in Haiti they have non-movie zombies who are trained to collect illegal (and maybe legal) crops when i say non-movie i mean they are recently dead people revived by a zombie spell into brain dead survents who amazingly don't eat brains.
No they are sort of mindless, all humanity lost.
Admittedly if they know to eat and such they are sentient, but really I think given how low they are cognitive wise they're not going to remember anything bar basic functions.
But really I would only want to teach it how to die more spectacularly when I take it down with a shotgun.

I'd say they're trainable, but it would be like trying to domesticate wild animals - sure, they seem obedient, but sooner or later they'll snap and try to bite your arm off.
Possibly. But not entirely. You can certainly make them docile. If The Walking Dead comics are to be believed anyway.

In the comic, this chick (forget her name) rips off the zombies arms and jaws, so they can't harm her. She then walks them around where ever she goes like dogs on leashes. For some reason the other zombies don't attacker if she does so, as long as she doesn't get too close. They probably mask her scent or something (this has been used before when two of the characters covered themselves in zombie gore in order to pass though them unnoticed). It's certainly a cool idea.
Personally I believe you should be able to do whatever you want with Zombies, Vampires, Werewolves ect. There's no set rules, so as long as it's interesting who cares. I mean, look at 28 Days Later. Infected, running people is one of the best innovations in zombies. It's what made them scary again after Shaun of the Dead.

If you hitch 2 of them to some yolks & dangle a big chunk of meat off a fishing poll in front of them, I'm sure you can train them to pull your carriages & plow your fields.
