Problem would be to make thus squads with different
 members :( ALL-Dog squads might be ok?

Many squads have different members already.

Rifleman: Radio Guy
PE Tankbusters/Assault : One guy has black gloves
British scout squad: one guy has Scoped Lee Enfield
Command squad: one guy is Major Ivan Danko

I don't think that making members different would be a problem, just making one of the members a dog would be taking it to the next level.

 How about this : The trainer is treated like a vehicle ;)
 (Vampire PE drops goliaths, kind of). He is '2 units' (3?)
 1 trainer, 2 dogs ;) And he is in ambush ... waiting...
 
 Then sending dogs is like 'throwing a grenade'
 *send off the dogs* Vanishing his 2 dogs and 2 new
 'goliath dogs' appear, speeding to their target? With
 trainer free to go 'reload' ? (via reinforcements)?

 Would that work or did it sound to complex to code?
 I worked it in a way that could be using already
 existing code, kinda?
You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity

 No, no, no, no, no, no... :)
 REINFORCE is fine (buy new troops)
 RECREW is putting fresh unrelated troops (engineers/
 soldiers) to recapture an abandonned AT gun/HMG/Mortar? :)

 So no problem :)
 Since 'Trainer' survived his 2 goliath's dog charge.
 
 Small detail : dogs go kaboom if hit, with trainer, but
 like a Pioneer/Flamethrower critical hit, not a Goliath
 (Charge isn't armed yet) :)

 Nope. Only the recrew thing.
 Reinforce works fine, as we saw in-game (next to bunker)

 I'd love for there to be an auto-reinforce option, though,
 when within range of outposts, barracks, etc, no?

Well it wouldn't be recrewing because the vampire halftrack dosn't recrew it just buys more goliaths to place.
I just love the smell of burning tanks in the morning

 Sigh. I meant the Handler soldier + 2 AT DOGS only has
 to replenish the missing dogs. It's not a vehicle. It's a
 squad!

For a second when I read the title about dogs I was immediately thinking Call of Duty World at War but I see it's about AT dogs. You do know the russians did actually train AT dogs but they failed because sometimes they would get scared and run back to their soldiers.
Goliats were a fail too but there in coh...
The real problem with dogs si that they need an animated dog skin. You cant just redo any soldier. Everything is different with a dog.
