Oh, and I learned a level 2 special from a female mamien (CL61) in 440 kills roughly, and level 2 thick skin from a giant angler (CL68) in exactly 1551 kills (I happened to be watching the screen at the time).
Of the 12 pets that had abilities that I've learned from so far, all but one has taken between 100 and 925 kills to learn the ability, whether it was a L1, L2, or L3 ability. I had one pet, a CL65 Male Brackaset, take 3221 kills to learn Thick Skin L2 from.
I really think it's random each time you kill something. Every time your pet gets a kill you have a random chance to learn the ability from it. By killing yard trash, I'm killing more pets/hour than if I were out killing things my level, and so I'm increasing my chances to learn the ability that way. However, if it were a pet that I actually wanted to keep and not delete after I learn the ability... I'd fight with it more in group situations instead of yard trash because I'd want to get it major xp in addition to kills to learn the ability so I can get it to "roll over" xp and increase in maturity at the same time.
EDIT: Just learned Marring Storm L2 from a CL65 Boar Wolf in 696 yard trash/1xp kills, Precision Strike L2 in 182 yard trash/1xp kills from a CL65 Reptilian Flier, and Precision Strike L3 in 311 yard trash/1xp kills from a CL67 Kamurith Defiler.

EDIT: Whoops! I was looking at Health, not kills. It still took over 3300 kills to teach me the ability.

You don't have to count each kill, your pet will do that for you.
Go find a cluster of level 1-4 creatures outside a town and start killing.
Since each kill is worth 1XP, that keeps track of how many kills your pet has.
This gets boring real fast so I recommend using a macro.
/ui action cycleTargetOutward;
/tellpet attack;
/pause 6;
/macro pet;
If your pet has ranged attack, you can take that pause down to 5 without any trouble. Even less depending on how spread out your kills are.
Someone else was having problems a few posts ago with the pet failing to attack out of range targets. Another solution to that is to add a /follow line into the master macro so that your character goes stays close to the targets that are being picked up.

just a quick tidbit, If you are using this macro i suggest that you run a second macro along with it. it would go like this:
/tellpet follow me;
/pause 30; or however long you want it
/macro name
