What pet skills should I use when levelling - like which damage skills? All I have used is charge + growl ( I have a boar) so that my pet can keep aggro but now I am thinking that I should use damage skills instead so I kill much quicker. What ones should I use and should I put them in auto-cast instead of growl or have all of them in auto-cast if possible ? Just some help would be kind thanks in advance.

petopia. check it out if you dont already know about it. it helped me a ton. (not sure if its petopia.com or net or what. just google it)
usually everything i have is auto-cast, except for charge. growl is turned off during pvp as it wastes focus.

I went to that site but it only says like what skills I can have I want to know or tips on what I should actually have.

train em all. bite, charge, dash, gore. theres only 4 and u need them all. as you level, make sure you have the highest possible skill level available. so if you only have charge and growl, go get the other 2 (dash is lev 30+ i think). But definitly get bite asap.
growl should always be autocast if youre just leveling. as i said, u only turn it off in pvp and in instances.
charge can be autocast when ur leveling, but in pvp u want to control it yourself.

i wouldnt listen to anyone that reccomends "lightening breath". Caster pets suck and are typically seen with huntards.

I have a boar so definetly can't learn lightning breath for it ... ok noob question but how do I learn these skills to my pet ? I tamed a pet that had the skill gore and a pet that had the skill bite but when I got back my own pet it only learnt rank 3 gore which is very low. When I tried to learn more of it from hunter trainer or pet trainer it didn't give me option to train it any better. Is there another way to learn your pet skills or is it bugged or something ?

rofl. lightening breath for a boar??
sorry man, not being a jerk here..we all gotta learn sometime...im 70 hunter, s1 gear and im still the biggest noob in the game...
anyway, ranx is right. petopia is the place.
here are noob instructions:
1) pull your pet and find out all possible learnable abilities
2) click each ability to find out the highest possible rank you can learn
3) scroll down that page to find out what animals have that ability
4) stable pet, GET THE FOOD IT EATS and place in bag
5)go look for the animal (use thott to locate if needed)
5) tame pet
6) feed feed feed, keep loyalty green
7) i believe by loyalty 3 there will be a yellow note on your bottom left saying "you have learned a new pet ability bite"
8) dismiss the animal
9) run back, get pet out of stable
10) train it in new ability
hope that helps.

Umm, greenbax... only a few windserpents are caster pets, and lightningbreath has no cooldown making it one of the best focus dumps in the game. Add to that the fact that nature damage ignores armor and as long as you're not fighting nature immune/resistant creatures it can be one of the best pets out there. It was considered the best dps pet before the other abilities as focus dumps (claw/gore/etc) came into play and is still quite useful as long as you're not farming primals.
That said, mine is seeing the stables more often than not due to farming primals and using the scorpid in arenas and boar in WSG. The windserpent is still my baby for world pvp and the occasional dps situation that I am assisting with (helping others with quests or *blech* instance runs).

thats your quote. WAS is the key word there.
crappy pet, no offense, just my opinion. in pvp, i just ignore em, as they dont do any significant damage. a cat on the other hand, would be interupting and doing ridiculous damage. even a boar would be a problem. but a serpent? i laugh when i see em. they look ridiculous too.
my raptor is an awesome pet for BM hunter. and it looks much cooler.

I did that - like get new pet and learn the skill and it said I learnt it. When I gave to my pet it was a low rank and so I wanted to learn a higher rank but when I talked to the pet trainer it didn't give me any higher rank ... I am sure theres more ranks for me to learn at my level which is why is this a bug or something :S ?
