Can a Irvine Police Officer conduct regular monthly home searches on a Parolee aside from those that are being made by their Parole agent?
The answer to this all depends on the specific conditions of the parole agreement. If it states in the agreement that only the parole agent (if agent is the only one listed) can conduct monthly home searches, then the officer cannot conduct a search unless the homeowner consents to the search. It likely says in the agreement that the parole agency, any law enforcement officer, and/or anyone it also would choose can conduct a search. Read the Agreement! It is a legally binding contract that was mutually agreed to by the multiple parties involved in it.

A helpful way to remember the Fourth Amendment is to think of the phrase "no unreasonable searches."

Can the police use the threat of shooting your dogs to get consent to search your home?
I'm not sure I understand the question. The police are prohibited from making warrantless, non consenual searches. If you consent to let the police search your home, why would they want to shoot your dogs? Why wouldn't you restrain your dogs if you were allowing the police to search? If the police have a warrant to search the premises, they are absolutely authorized to destroy the dogs during the execution of the warrant, if necessary.
