The classic way to tame a pet is to set a Freezing trap, and then use Concussive Shot followed by Tame Pet.

For those who are wondering "Oh no, where is my Tame Beast at?", do not fret. Blizz has put it into the "Pet Utility" button. Thankfully, if you don't care for how that is set up, you can remove the individual ability from the Pet Utility button and place that on your task bar to individually click it, instead of having to use a drop down (or drop side/up) ability.
If you try to tame a beast higher level than your own you recieve a system message on yoru screen that says your level isn't high enough for this beast.
