question about pets

so i got a holy pet , sometimes during fights it buffs me (GREAT!)
but then when i'm about to kill trash mobs .. it would have a mind of it's own and attack a group of mobs in another room .. while i dind't even aggro anything lol!

is there a way to keep the pet under controle .. ive been doing some test and i'm able to make it attack any target i got aggro with
but that is pretty much useless besides pulling guards in siege with it =P! ..
i feed it to the max , so it is never hungry .. it has 100 points of aptitude etc so verry loyal i guess
how come it CAN attack something without u doing ANYTHING..?

That is why a lot of people make effort not to raise the loyalty of their pet. And why some instance groups will ask you to unsummon your pet in the instance.

well i have a level 59 holy pet with 100 aptitude, doesn't matter what is aptitude was EVER, he would randomly go and attack stuff every so often loll. I just keep an eye on him because he got me killed quite a few times loll. It the wolf transformation potion i used on it, don't think the type matters really because my parrot or penguin pet does the same thing. never go afk with your pet out or you will come back and your toon will be dead loll.

Having a high aptitude is a desired thing....It is loyalty that you want to keep under control...

IMHO, bonus from highly loyal pet makes more of a positive difference than problems that are caused by excessive aggravation of mobs. But then I have never really had it happen. In any instances I run, pet doesn't wander far enough from me to get mobs he is not meant to get, I am wondering in which instance the problem occurs.
