MM hit points, advances as per MM...

As for the animal, he will automatically act as trained (e.g., a riding/war dog will defend you, attack when attacked, etc.) and if you want it to do something other than the most natural thing, you have to command it, which for you as a druid, is a free action...As for riding, your animal can always attack or you can attack, if you wish to have the animal attack and do something other than ride, it's a DC 10 ride check,...
