I do recall that MP says "if your beast is unable to take the action you command, the action is wasted." Dazed makes the beast unable to take more than a single action, so you could only command it to do one thing. (A case could be made that using a ranger power that allows the beast to attack doesn't count as the beast "taking an action," but I'm inclined to rule in favor of the spirit of the dazed condition: you can order your beast to do one thing per round, whether that one thing is move, attack, take a minor action, or assist you as part of a power.)That would count as "present in the encounter but unable to command your beast," so the beast would first have to move adjacent to you as quickly and safely as possible, then could act freely. Note that the beast isn't required to stay adjacent to you, but whenever it isn't adjacent it must move back to you. It could, for example, charge an enemy a few squares away, but after the charge it would immediately return to your side.IMHO, if your beast is dominated it's treated as just another creature.</blockquote>
