I don't know if this has already been answered in-game but the necromancer potion has worked well for others who have used it. It will give your pet 30 necromancy skill if it has 0 to start with. That skill doesn't show in the skills command but it's there and working. Pets have a skill cap so you'll still need to make sure another skill is set for "down" or that you've got the points to devote to necromancy training.
They will still do a melee attack, but be sure their weapon is spell channeling!
