Puppet mastery works, but it doesn't show on the stats. It reduces the cost to move by half (IIRC) and doesn't affect the AP's of the beast. Increased AP would give more attacks as well and the spell is only intended to make the critters move quicker. Therefore it might be difficult to notice the effects of the spell.

Place a couple of horse-carrion at the flanks or rear and have them attack rear. They move incredibly fast when enchanted.
