Buy a second stable slot. It's worth it :)
That way you get one main pet, and then go off and tame things that you learn a key ability from and then dismiss.
The best way to think of the pet skill system is this:
Learning a pet skill (growl, bite, claw) from a pet does not give the skill to the next pet you tame or the one in your stables. It simply puts that skill in the list that you can teach using Beast Training.
Your next/other pet then needs sufficient Training Points to be able to learn that new skill.
For me it went like this:
Tame mangeclaw (it comes with claw 2)
.. 40 levels later ..
learn growl 6 from Pet Trainer
stable mangeclaw
tame feralas wolf (bite 6). fight with it until I learn bite. dismiss wolf.
tame feralas bear (claw 6). fight with it until I learn claw. dismiss bear.
go back to stable master, un-stable mangeclaw, pull out beast training and teach it bite/claw/growl level 6.
As you can see I didn't get the hang of it all until rather late in my career ;)
