WoW.... Battle of the Pets

I've always fallen back on the pet side of wow to fill the time where I'm waiting for something to happen. This has lessened since Pandaria, I did some of the pet training with the garrison but it wasn't on any kind of priority list. At least the garrison had a pet trainer there in the stronghold.
This expansion has me so far removed from pets I've only just tried to level up 3 level 10 pets.

 

Doing so has been excruciating. It's a pain. Maybe it's me and it's not changed at all but last night in levelling up 3 pets to 12 felt like running a marathon with not even a medal at the end. I can't stomach the thought of trying to level them up further.

It's not working for me....
