Maya 3D Help (animation)

This kinda has nothing to do w/ unity, but I've been looking for good tuts on animating an already-boned object in Maya and I couldn't find anything to help me. If you can direct me to a tut or just tell me what to do i would appreciate the help. I have gotten the object (im my case, my wolf) rigged but I can't figure out how to animate it (I think it has something to do w/ the nurb curves or something like that cause idk how to set them on, like the circles around the bone you can move around to make objects limbs move). Thats about all I need help with, thanks!
