possibly...
In the wild, dogs would kill and eat chickens just like nature intended, so no, in most cases, raw chicken SHOULDN'T hurt the dog...BUT...
He didn;t get the raw chicken from the wild, did he? He got it from someone who took it out of the refrigerator. HAd it been frozen before? How long has it been thawing?
Chicken is notorious for salmonella and other nasty bacteria that grows in decaying flesh... so, it MIGHT hurt the dog. How long has it been sitting around before it got fed to the dog?

It might take a little convincing to get your pup to take his first taste of raw. But most dogs will take to it quickly once they realize it's real food! Like people have mentioned above, start by lightly cooking the meat and gradually offering it raw. If you still do kibble, make sure you separate the meal times. Kibble and raw are processed at different speeds! Maybe try offering a chicken neck if you can find a place to purchase them at. It's a lighter meal than the breast and your dog might be more apt to try it. Kudos to you for realizing that dogs aren't meant to exist on some processed pellet food. I doubt anyone would eat solely a human kibble day in and day out...And what do people think that all our dog breeds were fed while being developed? Kibble has only been around a very short time in the history of the domestic dog. And so many of the health problems we are seeing in our dogs now are directly related to diet. Especially periodontal disease and skin allergies, it's an epidemic! There are many books written and/or supported by veterinarians to support the basis of the raw food diet.

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/MXChN
If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.
It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

Chicken bones splinter and can puncture a dog's intestines. You don't want to feed any dog- or any critter for that matter- Chicken still on the bone.
Not to mention raw chicken can grow salmonella.

Well, I don't think so. The bones might get caught in it's throat or somewhere else which could be dangerous. I wouldn't make a habit of feeding it raw meat. However, when you consider all the nasty things dogs find and eat and survive, I don't think a bit of chicken will do harm.

Many people feed their animals all raw food (raw food diet). However... it's only okay if it's okay for human consumption (when cooked). What I mean is, don't give your dog old nasty chicken that you forgot to cook. He's not your garbage disposal. If you would cook it and eat it, its' fine for him too (even raw). Just make sure he eats it quickly so it doesn't go bad.
Chicken BONES on the other hand are NOT okay for dogs.
Oh... and just cuz raw chicken is okay... I'd still do it in moderation and watch for stomach upset. Some dogs dont do well on any kind of dietary changes. One of my dogs will have diarrhea within minutes if she eats ANYTHING other than her dog food. :(

Not too much and "NO CHICKEN BONES" They splinter and they can choak on them .Beware though too much blood will cause him to get addicted and want more blood,maybe even people blood,especially animal blood.You could create a monster.Be careful why don't you simply boil him some chicken??And not alot maybe only for a treat.Dry food is the best nutrition always for you dog.Feed people food if you like rotten teeth and diarrhea and worms! Be careful if you really LOVE him.

YES! Raw chicken is not good for us or our animals... in fact, if it's not healthy for you, your dogs should not have it. Also, it's not good to feed dogs table scraps of any kind. Check out "Natural Health for Dogs and Cats" if you are really interesting in keeping your dog healthy and happy.

Cooking destroys undesirable micro-organisms which may be present. So uncooked food carries a higher risk of disease transmission. Well known examples are :
Raw chicken - may contain salmonella
Feeding raw meat to dogs increases the number of clostridia (potentially pathogenic bacteria) in the microflora of their intestine, can also give him worms and other parasites.
Raw meat increases exposure to potentially pathogenic bacteria such as E.coli and Campylobacter , and deaths have been reported in dogs due to Salmonella contracted by raw meat.
Never give your dog chicken bones, they splinter and can cause stomach, intestine, and anal injuries.
