1. Dont ever tell your pet to Guard me unless you are 10 levels above everything
in the dungeon. By default, it is allways guarding you and if you are inside
its "range" and you are attacked, it will defend you if you are hit.

2. I prefer to just tell my pet to /stand up instead of Sit. When you have it
sit, it will take it a second or so to get up and start fighting... and a few of
my fights, that second is life or death. Stand up does the same thing as /pet
sit (which keeps it from following you).

I do believe there is a difference in guard area from sitting and standing but I
could be wrong...
