Thread: CH xp!!
Tonja
I'm a fairly new CH myself and early on, I did pretty much the same thing you are doing (tame, train, release). Once you have trained a few boxes though, the xp for using a pet in combat becomes the absolute best way to get xp. I highly recommend finding a group (or at least a few people) to hunt with (pulling missions is monotonous, but it is good xp and decent money ). I also recommend learning the pet /group (pets DO takeone of the8 Spots in a group 
)command as quickly as possible so the pets can recieve whatever your combat level's mitigation (they will take less damage when hit, but not do more dmg. ) bonuses are. I used my Veractyl and Kashyyyk Bantha mounts early on and switched to some BE'd pets once I could command lvl 16 creatures.
Basically, my approach to gaining XP is to TURN OFF my auto attack and only use my weapon to apply states/debuffs as needed with the occasional knockdown or root as needed (I'm a BH/Pistoleer/CH/medic combo). It goes extremely slowly if you are solo, but grouped with other players the XP is excellent.
thanks for the tips, i'll try them out.

take a look at your skill window (ctrl+s). on the left u should see a listing of your skills. there is one called "max level of pets" - it should be at +16 with your skills. thats the level of creatures u can tame and control.
