Summoner Summons?

So, the summoner SLA summons monsters that last for 1 minute per level.

Often combat doesn't last very long, so what happens after combat?

Lets say I summon an eagle, he attacks and kills my enemy, great, now I have him for a minute or something. Does he follow me around? Do I have to make handle animal checks?

If the duration line ends with “(D),” you can dismiss the spell at will. You must be within range of the spell's effect and must speak words of dismissal, which are usually a modified form of the spell's verbal component. If the spell has no verbal component, you can dismiss the effect with a gesture. Dismissing a spell is a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

You could just sent it home.

Well, what if there are more monster?

I want it to follow me around and attack my enemies, but I don't know if it will at all

By the wording of summons, I think it will gladly attack anything that proves hostile to you. For better results, you will want to speak its language, or use handle animal, to actually give it orders.

It attacks your enemies to the best of its ability until the spell duration expires. If it can't currently perceive any of your enemies, its best chance to find some is to follow you.
