Animal Training expanded?

[Jubal]

are there any good D20 rules already out there to expand Animal Training?

I am thinking of something with animal traits, expanded trick lists, breakdown of DC by species. heck I would even settle for expanded rules for training dogs.

I know there is stuff with summoned mounts/familiars/etc, if any of that would apply here Im interested.

I am looking to build a character who is an animal trainer/merchant (among other things), but I am not interested in taking levels in druid or other classes.

I don't feel limited to just WotC books either, where ever it comes from (d20), i'm interested =)

thanks for any help!

Monster Manual II has rules for training "war mounts". Quite powerful actually.

brehobit, thanks for the tip!

after reading a fair number of posts here, i realized that www.wizards.com actually has some good articles, and better yet they are searchable heh ( I know everybody here already knows, but i just figured it out)

found this one, which i like alot

Maybe you should pose the question over in the House Rules forum?
