One of the things I found useful for my hunter was to learn some of the other skills for my pet so they could do more damage. To learn these skills you need to tame the pet and then use them for a while you will then get a prompt saying you have learnt a new skill.
This website has a list of what beasts you need to tame to get each skill

Plus this is a useful thread in general
