This is the exact macro I use, and yep. Its almost sinful. But it is random. I had a Bolle hold out like a champ and not teach me beastly constitution for almost 700 kills. But then I also had a Boarwolf give up his L2 ability the other day in 12 kills....Yep, 12 kills!
Overall though, Ive found that 20 minutes of time is about sufficient though until you hit some L3 abilities. Then, just click the macro and go cut the grass.

Wow that is clever but now that you bragged about it on the forums it will go bye bye. That is definately not working as intended. Even if a level 1 were to group with a player pet the level of the group should be the pets level not the players.
Actually it will go bye bye for other reasons 9:1 conversion rate

I gave it a try. Good idea provided my field of view didn't stretch to the far horizon. I nnly learned one pet skill using it and it was a L3 one at that. Took half a day putting dwarf nuna on the endangered species list before I learned it. In the process I tamed two baby kreetles. These leveled up nicely, though I went through some 70 pet stim doses to keep them on their feet. A level 1 pet can get three training slots. Two of them trained with the states not equipped by your Level 68 pet would make nice additions as combat state delivery vehicles.
My error? I cant figure out how to group the pet with a level 1 toon (toon being either an NPC or PC as I tried both). I investigated the Befriend command, and understand the pet places the targeted player into the Friends list. This failed, so I had to /addFriend myself. Is my error and the solution to the problem that the exact procedure to group a pet with another player is to target said player, add to friends list, then use the /group %TT command the pet recognizes as the group command? I ask because the player couldn't invite the pet into their own group, saying the onlyoption visible on the radial dial was examine.
I will return to grinding on Dantooine or go to Kashyyk as mentioned in another thread and hunt level 78 creatures and loot the crystals. It is far more rewarding and other professions think the variety of these tames educational, most don't know where these critters even come from.
I think it may already have gone in the last patch - both the grouping and the macro killing of yard trash.
Never tried the grouping with CL1 myself, but yesterday I had the macro running for a CL58 pet with an L2, a few hours later and with 1500 kills, still not learnt.
Anyone else found this?
I've heard a few reports of 3000+ kills though.

QFE- I've learned skills in as little as 16 kills, but I also had one pet that took just a tad bit over 3000 kills to learn from. Typically I've been learning them in less than 1000 kills, but not always!

The befriend command works like this:
Target the person you want the pet to befriend
Say the befriend command
The befriended person can now order your pet around just like you can, ie, give it the group command, make it attack and so. =)
I tweak my macros so it is understandable I don't get the credit for the original idea. Here is what I have refined.
/ui action cycleTargetOutward; <--keep your field of vision down from the horizon if you dont want to sendyour pet there.
/tellpet as; <-- my own /tellpet attack command. All my pets use it. az is the range toggle.
/pause 6; <---time to close distance and attack target. Increase as needed if targets are far apart or take longer to kill.
/tellpet wg; <-- used to reset pet if it attacked a lair. wg is myfollow mecommand with no logic why I chose to use it.
/pause 1; <---used to give pet chance to stick around and allow for lag so pet doesn't miss the next cycle of commands.
/ui action cycleTargetInward; <-- pet needs to try to stay close.
/tellpet as;
/pause 6;
/tellpet wg;
/pause 1;
/ui action cycleTargetInward; <-- one cycle outward, two cycle inward, a fair area of coverage.
/tellpet as;
/pause 6;
/tellpet wg;
/pause 1;
/macro pet; <---macro name is pet. To turn macro off, I edit the macro deleting the petword of this line;
