Dont think so. I have a pet with L1 Knockdown and I can use it from the moment I tamed him (and trained him in it). I just can't yet teach the ability to my other pets.

If it is an offensive ability that the pet has it can use it from when trained but you do not learn it until the pet goes thru 3-4 cycles of experience.
Type /train to see what you can teach.
From that testing that I performed, it would appear that the following Abilities are not currently working as intended.

Just one small observation 
Why cant the xp it takes to get these broken abilities be borked also...you know like it takes you only say 10 or so xp to get one of these broken abilities off a CL70 creature and not 400k for one thats not going to work no matter how much xp you get 
Only seems fair if you ask me.
While I cannot verify if it actually provides any additional benefit, there is "combat spam" from Cowering Vigilance (L1). While trying to learn the skill with a CL1 Kreetle, I routinely got a message similar too "your pet takes a defensive stance". Of course, being a CL1 Kreetle that was milliseconds before his death.....so no way to see what little defensive bonus it would give. But it certainly gave a combat message. Likewise, the Fleet Footed special gives a Fleet Footed buff icon on the pet with the ability (trained not innate), but I cannot notice a speed increase. Has anyone tried these innate specials on BE pets to see if they update the stats, even if they don't seem to have actual functionality? Since many seem to be for pet stats that cannot be seen on wild pets. I may try this tonight on a throw-away BE pet to see.
Similarly, Imperiling Feint doesn't specifically say that it is an armor break.....just reduces defenses. Would this reflect as more damage or less misses or something else entirely?

This innate ability makes your pet automatically go into a Defensive state, reducing damage taken, when it gets low on health.
None of these Abilites appear to effect, at this time,pet stats, Combat Spam, or functionality.
I received a system message saying that my Rot Mite had gone into Defensive mode so it would appear that something is happening - I did not see anything other then the message in the combat log.
I used Imperiling Feint with my narglatch and an icon did appear under the critter we were attacking HAM bar - did not check the combat log to see what effect, if any, it had.

Yep, I know that ..I was replying to the part about "I dont think it will be able to use the abality from taming."
Think Pootian was suggesting that even it the pet has the inate ability, that you/the pet couldn't use it until *you* have learned it.
Five of those innate abilities that don't seem to be workingare, apparently,related to DNA stats.
Thick Skin: Fortitude
Lightning Reflexes: Dexterity
Beastly Constitution: Endurance
Defensive Agility: Intelligence
Combat Agility: Fierceness
Is it known if these four are working?
Vigorous Health: Hardiness
Aggression: Courage
Marring Storm: Power
Precision Strike: Cleverness
Also, they seem to have left out an innate ability associated with State Resistance.

On an off-topic sidenote, could anyone confirm the process of training L2 or L3 abilities? I'm curious... if I train an L1 ability to a pet, if I want to upgrade it to L2, will it overwrite it and use the same (one) ability slot? Or use up a second ability slot, and the L3 would use a third? That would be really painful... 6 slots for two L3 abilities.
Each Ability requires 1 Slot per Level.Keep in mind that the L2 Ability will improve upon the L1 Ability and the L3 Ability will improve upon the L2 and L1 Abilites. This should be the most evident with Marring Storm and Vigorous Health.
It comes down to whether or not you would want more Abilites or stronger Abilites on each pet.
