Yes you can. If the dog is in the early stages there are very few if any symptoms and the Rabies virus can be passed through the saliva. The only way to tell for sure is to either kill the animal and test the brain or keep in isolation to see if any symptoms develop but then it is too late for anyone who has been bitten or infected in any other way. The best thing to do is to vaccinate all dogs. They can be vaccinated as early as 4 months of age.

Is Rabies vaccine needed after previously vaccinated?
Typically, the rabies vaccine your vet gives to your cat/dog/other animal lasts one year the first time given, and the following rabies shot is usually for three years. Your vet probably sends out reminders to get pets vaccinated, but if your animal gets bitten by a raccoon/skunk/something known to have rabies, you can always take it in to get a booster shot to prevent any chance of your pet getting rabies.

Can a dog who has bitten a person and not transmitted rabies infect another person they bite later?
This question is rather confusing. However, if a dog is biting people this much, the dog needs attention of some kind. If a dog bites someone, there is probably a law in your area (if you are from the US) that it needs to be reported and then quarantined for ten days. That's the law in NYS where I live. This is to be certain the dog doesn't have rabies. My dog bit someone and even though we had proof that she had rabies vaccinations, we had to quarantine her for ten days. If your dog does not have rabies and is not vaccinated it will not catch rabies by biting a person unless the person the dog bit was carrying rabies, which is very, very unlikely. An animal catches rabies from other infected animals, from either getting scratched or bitten by that animal, or from eating a dead animal that had rabies. That's why it is so important to get your dog vaccinated every year.
