Is there any way of removing "baby" status on pets trained by a creature handler?

Yes. When the CH trains your pet, ask him/her nicely if he will name your pet for you. Pick a name you like, and the CH uses it to train your pet with 4 commands. That will teach the pet it's name, and remove the old name. Then the CH should retrain the pet without using it's name so that you don't have to use the name when giving commands.

wasn't it supposed to (old system?) work if you named your pet you could use either the command with the name or without, no diff? I was always one box from mch, on intrepid, but never obtained it, so i cheated and have respec'd mch on chilly and intrepid

Yes, it was supposed to work that way. At some point, it kind of worked, but all of your pets would respond to the command as if they were all that name. I remember there may have been something else backwards about it, but not what. Since I couldn't selectively tell a pet, I promptly gave up trying.

I always ask the new pet owner what name they'd like the pet to have.
Then I use the transfer command and the patrol commands to name the pet.
And I leave the names there, MAINLY so the transfer command is a bit more difficult to use (do you really want to transfer your pet away?), and so that if the pet owner later decides they want to change the name, the CH who does it knows which four commands are tied to the name. The patrol commands are good for this because most players don't use them.
The catch with naming is that there is an invisible record of which commands were used to name the pet, and another CH could have to muck around with five commands to override the four commands used to name the pet previously.
