Stealing takes a while. Place an item in the backpack of the pack animal. Begin recording and attempt to steal the item, if it's successful drag the item back into the pack animal's bag, if it's not successful stop recording. If you failed to steal the item then place the item into your backpack and begin recording after your last action. Drag the item into your pack animal's backpack and then stop recording. Change the items over to target type.
Now, about animals going wild on you. Remembering back to my days on OSI I knew that giving a command to an animal increased its level of happiness. I decided to try it here and my pack remained wonderfully happy the whole time. As long as you stay within sight of your animal and it doesn't ignore you a bunch of times you will find your animal remaining wonderfully happy throughout the duration of your time gaining. I simply set it to say "all stay" when I failed to steal the item. I am not 100% sure it works exactly like that here, but I have my reward cloak so I am not complaining.
