You are trained at working with animals, and can teach them tricks, get them to follow your simple commands, or even domesticate them.  If you make a successful Handle Animal check, the animal performs the trick you ask of it, without hesitation, regardless of risk or peril.  Most uses of this skill involve a responsible companionship between animal and player character, but take note that this skill is fraught with alignment peril!  Abusive uses are easy to envision, and often advantageous to the character, but training animals you purchase to deliver flasks of alchemical fire where you want them for the low, low price of buying another animal the next time you're in town is likely to have impacts upon your alignment, not to mention getting you ostracized in civilized company.

If you have no ranks in Handle Animal, you can use a Charisma check to command and push domestic animals, but you can't teach, rear, or train animals.
