Rabbits can be gentle, but they are quite timid animals as a rule and will sometimes be aggressive out of fear or from hormonal issues.
It is worth remembering that rabbits are prey animals, and hence do not enjoy being picked up normally.
Spayed and neutered animals will always be more affectionate and gentle than unaltered ones.
All of this being said, rabbits can make loving and gentle companions if you treat them well.

I should think you can. We have a lop rabbit and it has a corner pot to urinate and poo in. Dwarf rabbits might have a reputation of being a little naughty. I don't know if this affects their trainability but, generally speaking, pet rabbits can be litter-trained, and they can be socialized to be gentle and friendly and (somewhat) obedient. Some also like endurance training (jumping). See Related Questions (below) for more information.
