LGCS 4.2, page 55 of the pretty version:
===
Q: Can I use the new skill rules for various skills (and
also take ranks in the new subskills) as presented
in the core supplements (the Complete and Races
series of books)?

A: Yes, although you must provide the book to show the
DM the rule. The allowance of an alternate skill use is
subject to DM approval.
===

But note that you can only take Knowledge skills described in the PH. (LGCS 4.2, page 9 of the pretty version.)

(There are three versions of the LGCS 4.2: The original PDF version that the Circle blessed, a pretty PDF version that the RPGA put page background on, and an HTML version on the Theocracy of the Pale Web site. The text is (mostly) the same, but paginations differ.)

Hate to burst the bubble (especially since my archer has a celestial wardog companion) but from p. 33 of the same pretty LGCS 4.2 (emphasis mine):

Your animal companion at the start of an
adventure can be trained with its full compliment of tricks
(3 for every point of Intelligence plus bonus tricks as
indicated in the PHB). The list of animal companion tricks
is on page 74 of the Player’s Handbook v.3.5 under Handle
Animal. Special tricks (ones not listed in the PHB) are only
allowed by way of campaign or regional documentation.

I think its a matter than needs editing in the next LGCS and some note from the Co6 about what's the correct language.

Which tricks need to be taught to an animal before it is considered war trained?

For example training a riding dog so that it becomes war trained.
