First, I really do you have fun with whatever adventure you end up playing. That is the absolute most important part of D&D, is to have fun.
Mechanically, Wizard/Sorcerer/Warlocks really don't have anything from a class standpoint that is going to allow them to do that. Paladin has some, with it's Find Steed/Find Greater Steed spells.
A lot of what you are going to want to do would be homebrew, and would require you to work with your DM on that. There are definitely rules for things like horses/donkeys, and I think a Tiger could definitely be stretched into that, but Dragons are a much different beast since they are very powerful. The Drakewarden isn't officially out yet, since it comes out when the new Fizban book comes out later this year, but the UA gives us a taste of it.
Specifically, Fizban's Treasury of Dragons releases on October 19th.
Beyond that, the only two classes/subclasses that focus on controlling pets are the Beastmaster Ranger (widely held as one of the worst PC options in the game, though somewhat improved with some extras found in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything) and the Battlesmith Artificer (regularly cited as being superior to the Beastmaster in practically every possible way). The Beastmaster is found in the Player's Handbook while the Battlesmith is from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
Just to prepare you, heroes in D&D start out not much stronger than a commoner with a pitchfork. You don't typically do badass things like ride on dragons or cast Gandalf-level spells until later levels. Early levels allow you to tell the story of how your character became cool enough to do those things.
I am new to DnD and i have some questions.
We want to play Odyssey as our first journey.
I want to play the path of the vanished one or the gifted one with focus on Pets.
Can i play with a Wizard/Warlock/Sourcerer like a Tamer, like Gandalf riding Dragons and Tigers and fight with them ? Or should i play a ranger ?
Thx for all answers

A closer mechanical representation would be a Ranger, specifically the Drakewarden: https://media.wizards.com/2020/dnd/downloads/UA2020_102620_Subclasses05.pdf
