Here is my Quicklist Guide to the Alliance Side of the Pet Trainer Intro Quests. This is a quick reference to see what type of pets you will need to defeat the trainers easily. On Trainers who have the same type of pet for all 3 pets in their party, I would recommend you bring at least two pets that are the opposite type (i.e. bring three appropriate leveled Mechanical types to fight three trainer Beasts). Don't rely on fighting all three of their pets with just one of yours, despite the fact that they will have stronger attacks and defeat them quicker.

1st Tier Alliance Trainer Questline (Starts in Eastern Kingdoms)

To defeat these trainers with maximum efficiency, you will need pets of the following type:

If you arrive at Eric Davidson and he does not give you the option to battle, simply log out and log back in.

This happened to me on the morning of 11 Oct 2012. I relogged and he was ready to battle. For what it's worth, he lost miserably to my Mini Thor.
