Learn new spells to your pet. Stable your pet. Head out into the wild, find the creature that have the new abilities for you, and tame it. Even if you don't want to keep the new pet, fight with it a few times, learn what you need to, then Abandon it (right-click on it's portrait to do this). Once you have learn the abilities you sought, return to the stablemaster and get your old pet back. Then go to Beast training, and pick the new ability.

Where to learn Bite (rank 1):
Dun morogh: Snow tracker wolf (5-7)
Durotar: Dreadmaw crocolisk (9-11)
Elwynn forest: Forest spider (5-6)
Mulgore: Prairie Stalker (7-8)
Teldrassil: Githyiss the vile (5)
Tirisfal Glades: Night web spider (3-4)

Purpose: focus-efficient damage
Not usable by: crabs, scorpids, owls.

And what if I want to learn Rank 2(Bite)?

Am i supposed to tame a mob with the Rank 2(Bite) to learn it to my own pet again or is it possible to learn rank 2 at the pet trainer after a certain amount of time?

No, you can skip ranks. This is useful when you have a high lvl pet and you wish to train the highest possible rank. You simply tame (and abandon) a pet with a higher rank of a certain ability, learn it, and then apply it to your favorite pet.

First off make sure that when you're fighting with the Spider that you have 'Bite' on auto-cast. If the pet doesn't use the ability you want to learn you won't learn it. Continue to fight with the spider until you get a message in your chat window saying you have learned the ability. It may take awhile - allowing the spider to do all of the fighting can sometimes speed up the process. After you've learned the ability, reclaim your cat and you should have the ability listed in your Beast Training window.

The devs told us exactly how the Hunter pet ability Bite works at the link below.

I'm pasting it here as they typically delete the beta forums after release.


Q: Can you confirm what the base damage values of Bite and Basic Attack should be?

Bite is a bit odd in that it uses the master's attack power, 33.3% of the master's AP.

"Basic Attack" is what we refer to when meaning Bite, Smack, Claw, etc.

I'm guessing you meant auto attacks, though. Hunter pets should have no 'base weapon damage', just auto attack damage from their AP.

Its a pity that they screwed up the bite skill in 3.0.2, since i used bite cause it had a cooldown, which gave the growl skill some power to use, while, its new focus status, makes it a pretty crap skill like the other focus dumps.

oh well.
