Here is my Quicklist Guide to the Horde 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 Horde Trainer Questline (Starts in Kalimdor)To defeat these trainers with maximum efficiency, you will need pets of the following type:

Having issues with this one. I've completed the previous quest and have this one in my quest log. When I talk to her, she says "You be feelin' dis fight for a long time." And there are no other options other than the "Goodbye" button.
This is a bug (currently at least) that is fixed by logging out and then back in. Happens randomly with all the Pet Tamers.
