As to your point...The skill says, "When there is any question whether you can calm down a domesticated animal, keep a mount from getting spooked, or intuit an animal’s intentions, the DM might call for a Wisdom (Animal Handling) check. You also make a Wisdom (AnimalHandling) check to control your mount when you attempta risky maneuver."Not sure that really does it.  I suppose a combination of animal friendship, speak with animals, animal handling, and then maybe some sort of persuasion check to get them to be actual friends?It does seem odd to me that the Cleric (Nature) is more capable of controlling animals than a Druid, though admittedly I have not read them both all the way through.</blockquote>
