As it seems that it dies to everyone else, so how to start training such a weak animal.
I am known also as Kragg. The haven spellbinders are good for safely doing resists and it also helps build stam and dex to 125.
I use the same training for all pets and a little amazed no one has mentioned this.
Usually when starting to train skills on pets, the slimes in the underworld are a good starting place. What the others have failed to mention is that the very first two slimes are great for training weak pets.
Control is important because they can wander over to the stronger slimes and have issues.
Try positioning pet before corner and give it the stay command. Be sure to have a cure and heal stored on pet.
Lastly, rarely you can have a goblin? mob wander in. Rare, but it happens. If you are positioned properly you should not attract aggro.
Lastly, if you are on Lake Superior and you need repairs, visit Rockbiter's Repairs, just outside the gates of Cove in fel. <Chuckles>
