You can also extend the capabilities of your WoW pets by teaching them up to four new skills which can be acquired at a trainer in major cities.
Although you can summon your World of Warcraft pet at any time, you’ll need to make sure that their loyalty levels are up high enough to ensure they’ll respond.
