They do seem to train melee, but they use guns and tend to maintain a distance. Anyways, one way to look at it is, werewolves are "supposed" to be stronger, faster and more durable than humans, so matter how much they train melee, they could never win, because speed differential, werewolves hould be able to easily dodge all of their attacks, even at Point Blank Range, so their plan, use guns. And Provided the werewolves are not supersonic(or at the very least have supersonic reaction speed), then it's be effective. But the problem with this is, werewolves on teen wolf are basically just humans with glowing eyes and fangs(who enjoy moving in slow mo, like overdramatic and exaggerated actions), with the occassional showing of strength. You have a human(Papa Argent) dodging a hit from Bloodlusted Derek from freaking point blank range(Now i didn't want argent to die, but that was straight up lowballing werewolves), and in one of the most annoying scenes till date, you have a FREAKING 45-60 Kg girl, chasing a freaking born werewolf. I was almost crying while watching that scene.

So you're right, in this case, they are stupid not to learn melee and use it, since their enemies most of the time are weak. Arrow could take everyone on teen wolf, prolly except Deucalion in a hand to hand combat. With Prep and Gadget, he lolstomps everone here, and he's human, thats how bad it is.
