PetSorc controls?

Do console players have the same control over their pets as PC players do? If so what are the controls? I play on PC/NA with an Xbox controller and I can't find anything about this. How do I activate my pets ability, tell them to attack, and have them back off?
There really should be better instructions on this because I didn't even know these controls we're a thing untill asking a guildee advice on a pet build.

    Only heavy attacks , the other method seems like something that was forgotten in code as it never got ported. I wonder how pet sorcs dps and healers do on console.

    Thank you. So is it not feasible to run pet sorc with a controller then? If I can't even activate it's ability it doesn't seem to have a point

    You activate the ability with the same key you originally summoned the pet with (at least, that's how it works on the PC). That's surely not the problem.

    The problem is controlling the pets' choice of which enemy to attack.

    This is one of my biggest gripes with this game. You have a class with a dedicated summoning line yet there is absolutely zero way to control the pets. Its seriously like the devs just cannot figure out how to code it so have just left it. This makes pets absolutely useless in pvp and frustrating but usable in pve on console.

    My sorc is my first character, crafter, has the most skills lines leveled and has the most skill points but I have given up on him due to there basically being one general magicka build option due to pets being a waste of time.

    There is a key binding under controls called "Command Pet". It works for sorc pets only. I didn't realize this was pc exclusive though.
