Excelsior

I haven't played Ultima much for about 8 years and just decided to get back on. After a bit of playing I saw leashes and how they can shrink your pet. The wiki says that they can be crafted, but I can't figure out how. I'm going to try a few more things, but thought I'd also ask here too. Thanks for any help.

Edit: Also, is there a quick way to grind animal taming?

It's all listed out in the Wiki. I am like you new here but very avid UOer from many years past. I highly suggest you read every link in the Wiki as it has really help me get back into the swing of things. Animal taming/Animal Lore and a pet brush make leashes. I gave up grinding taming went from 30 to 60 in the taming forest & Moonglow and then used that free skill ball for 60 to 120.

Yeah, I figured out the brush thing after asking in game. But anyways, what did you tame to get you to 60? And, thanks for the reply.
