Pet won't respond to commands

In Zenith, I got a Penguin and my friend got a Monkey for reaching 2nd job.

Problem is that they don't respond to any commands: sit, iloveyou, poop, etc.
Is this is current glitch or did some pet mechanics change?

You might want to find a Pet Manual and double check the commands for it.

They're glitched.
They follow the Old Snail commands though like "quest", I believe.

This^. my kitty did the same

I have that problem too. I'm afraid that this could mean they disappear afterwards
