    You might have accidentally switched him to 'stay' and 'manual' modes. This would prevent him from following you, and he wouldn't help you in battle unless you tell him to attack.

    To remedy these problems, make sure you move him to one of the other modes (defend or auto, i think they're called) and have him set to follow (the paw icon on the bar).

    If he's already set to follow, try resummoning him once you're outside of town. Sometimes the pets get stuck for odd reasons.

    The area as you leave Archosaur is buggy and pets will act like you are somewhere they cannot go. Sometimes if you go far enough they will teleport to you, but it's easier to just un-summon them and re-summon them if you are staying around the town.

    THE REASON your pet stays in town, is because in City of the Lost, there is a protective barrier that prevents the wraiths from coming in to town. It also keeps your pet from going out of town.

    To solve this just go outside of town, un-summon your pet, then re-summon it by your side. You really don't need your pet in town unless upgrading their skills, the only thing they do is get hungry.

    Honestly - I think it's because you selected HOLD... you need to change it to FOLLOW - one of them will be selected by default so check which

    EDITING: NVM if he's running wildly means he is on FOLLOW - maybe some areas like sharp corners you or rocks you pet can't go through... not sure anymore now
