* [[Gisli]], a Dwarf living in [[Serbule Keep]], will teach the art of Animal Handling for 2000 Councils. Unlike many denizens of Alharth, you don't need to be his friend, he seems willing to teach the skill to anyone who can pay. He will also unlock skill levels 51-60, and 61-70.
* [[Crelpin]] in the [[Fae Realm]] will unlock levels 71-80.
* Levels 81-90 may be unlocked by gaining favor with a mysterious entity deep beneath [[Povus]].

* [[Charm Rat]] - While not a skill, Adventurers may wish to learn the art of 'Rat Charming. While you can learn to '''Tame Rat'''s from Gisli, the method to '''Charm''' Rats must be obtained elsewhere. This relatively rare technique is rumored to have been taught at a secret Council Academy once operating on [[Anagoge Island]]. Charmed Rats are still wild animals, not pets. Charmed Rats will follow you around, and can't be revived once defeated in battle.

=== Raising Skill Levels ===
=== Stables ===
You can have as many pets as you have stable slots. You can buy more stable slots from the following StablemastersStable Masters.* [[Gisli]] in [[Serbule]].* Placeholder <dpl> category = Stablemaster in [[Hogan's Keep]].These Stablemasters columns = 1 mode = userformat include = {NPC infobox}:zone table = class="sortable wikitable", NPC Name, Location</dpl> Stable Masters can help you to rename your pets, level up your pets, release unwanted pets, and most importantly, revive them if they fall in battle.
Deceased pets can be revived at a stable for a small fee.
The fee for extra stable slots increases with each slot, for example #8 costs 10.000 council, #9 costs 50.000 council.
=== Summoning Pets ===
As you level up in Animal Handling you'll gain access to abilities that allow you to summon your pets based on what stable slot they are in. You may only summon a single pet tamed from Animal Handling at a time, but you may summon your Animal Handling pets alongside pets from other skills like [[Necromancy]] or [[Battle Chemistry]].
=== Rats ===
'''Rats''' are generally the first animal Animal Handlers will learn to '''Charm''' and '''Tame.''' Higher level rats may provide a Poison Vulnerability Debuff, and some species of Rats are reported to exhibit high Evasion & Crit.
[[Mr. Squeaky]] is not tamable through [[Animal Handling]], as he is a highly-intelligent foe. Only animals unaware of their own sentience can be tamed!

Animal Handlers who master Rats may wish to move onto something more ferocious, the [[Feline]]. Felines, also known as Big Cats, can be '''Charmed''' by Level 20+ Animal Handlers. Felines deal heavy slashing damage, but most are weak to poison.
