A Kennel is like a larger workshop for an animal trainer. The animal trainer uses it to tame wild animals not already domesticated, such as wolves and tigers you have trapped. It also serves to train tamed animals into hunting and war animals (usually dogs).

Hunting animals can be assigned to follow a hunter and assist in the hunting process. They are faster and more agile than a regular tamed animal, but not as strong as a war animal.

A war animal is a powerful fighter. War dogs make excellent companions when starting a fortress, when you can't spare many dwarves for fighting. Some of the tougher animals that can be trapped, like tigers, can be tamed and trained into war animals even fiercer than they naturally were.
