ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Be warned if there are other Armadoggos in the area the moment you finish taming the one you want, the rest will turn and attack your new tame before you can put it in companion mode (aka immortality mode).
They spawn in the Sanctuary in packs for those asking where to find them.

Drop prime meat on the floor and while it eats it click pet.
While it eats grab pet it then quickly grab the food if your fast enough you cause it to ignore the digging stage and can just drop food again and it should go right into eating again and rinse repeat until tamed!
To tame it you want to drop meat near it and pet it (you need to own bobs tall tales to tame it
For some reason the taming effectiveness drops a lot on the official servers even with kibble - figured I’d mention that. If anyone was wondering just know you weren’t the only one. It does reflect that effectiveness drops on the taming calculator though… so there’s that.
1. Drop one cooked meat on the ground.
2. Doggo will come and sniff the food. Stay on the side of doggo
3. Doggo will lower his head and eat the food. Now you have a short time to pet it. (E on Pc)
4. Doggo will walk away an come back for step one - Repeat
If you drop two times one meat the doggo will stay and you can tame him faster skipping the walking away.
Do not approach with any tames - it will immediately aggro so no tame for you without leaving render.
Only problem with taming these guys that I have found is that any doggo’s nearby will attack your doggo after you finish taming. You can kill off the ones you don’t want, run away for a moment, then come back and tame the one that is left over. I used cooked prime on small tribes weekend boost and it took 5 pieces. I used a pyromane to hold the meat until I found some and put it on my shoulder before getting too close after killing the ones I didn’t want.
The way you take this dog is you drop meat on the ground and he will start eating it, while he’s doing that walk up to him and pet him. He will dig and pop up somewhere else, just rinse and repeat that until he’s tamed
It's pretty easy to tame them even high levels can tame pretty fast you just have to put the food down Pet it and you can skip the digging stage and then a few tries usually it'll tame!
The tips here keep saying you cannot have tames near by or wild doggos will agro but that is not entirely true. The wild doggos will agro a few tames including a companion Doggo but it will not agro flyers like a tamed Snow Owl.
