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:
Mechanical, Beast, Elemental, Magic, Dragonkin, UndeadJulia Stevens - Elwynn Forest, Maclure Vineyards

You can only battle him using the char you took the quest with. If you try to battle him using an alt/the char you did not accept the quest with the battle option will not turn up.
Old MacDonald had a farm, Teensy, Clucks, and Foe.
And on that farm he beat your team; aren’t you thankful, no!
With a Scratch, Scratch here, and a Peck, Squawk there,
Here a tear, there a tear, everywhere a robot gear,
Old MacDonald had a farm, Teensy, Clucks, and Foe!

Description
You're tough for just starting out! Old MacDonald taught me everything I know about battling. I think fighting him would be a great learning experience for you! He can be found just across the bridge leading to Westfall. Don't let his age fool you, he's already beaten quite a few up-and-coming trainers like yourself.
