Tips & Strategies
If you're on PvE like myself, you're going to need to first bola the alpha and then gate it in with 4 wooden Dino gateways and their coinciding doors. Just make a square around them. Then, wait for the other hyena's to be a far enough distance from the alpha/cage and then cage them in as well. I did each hyena individually because they spook otherwise.
A word worthy of note, Hyaenodon's WILL attack in large packs. Stick to a group of three, including the alpha.
Also worthy to note that alpha's occasionally enter some sort of rage mode and can quickly break free from bola's.
After you've got your hyena's caged, fly out of render distance to lose aggro and then fly back in and proceed with the tame.
You still need your ghillie suit and to be crouched.
These are only one time uses so make sure to demolish for resources after you're done!
Good luck out there!

More Hyaenodon Taming & KO Tips
Alright, so I failed at this over and over again, and here’s what I learned so you’re not like me.
Don’t try to trap in rails or low walls, you’ll need something at least three high to not worry about them waltzing over.
Don’t get in front of them, they’ll bounce, and if they bounce, don’t chase them, if they run once all the progress depletes rapidly.
Use cactus soup or whatever it’s called, not bug spray (obviously).
If you get one trapped randomly in a rock, do not move when you pet it at all, and try to pet it when it’s looking away from you, it’ll be a lot safer.
Don’t try to tame the alpha, and don’t try to tame one near the alpha.
Once you attempt to tame one, and they end up running (at least for me), you cannot tame again 85% of the time, they just book it when you pet them.
If you’re not trapping, stay directly behind, and pray it doesn’t suddenly turn around.
Hope this helps someone, everyone deserves a dog.

You cannot find these guys sadly on mobile.
Step 1: use a flyer to grab it and drop it into a taming pen
Step 2: wear ghillie armour and pet it
Step 3: you now have a good doggo

Full ghille, kill off all dinos around the hyena you want. Dont need trap.
Just patiently crouch 100% of the time!!!
It'll stop, it'll turn so be prepared to turn with it staying behind it.
Don't be over eager to get too close an pet, every 2nd time they stop, wait for them to turn an then pet.
Pet then back off a good distance immediately.
Cactus broth helps but not needed.bit will help keep other wild dinos away better.

This is a little expensive but, I tamed one in a box by tranqin it when it woke it was calm and I was able to follow it around the box and pet it. Hope this helps
If you want to find a good cheap taming pen go whatch phlinger phoo 👍
You pet them, you don’t knock em out, pet doggo don’t hurt doggo
I see what other people have said but in my opinion these things aren't much of a problem especially if you have something like an argentavis as you cna pick them up and either kill them or put them in a trap if you have a trap built but don't have an argentavis my tip for you is to get a fast dino or if you are fast hit one and sprint towards your trap if your lucky you can get the whole pack in there and kill the ones you don't want hopefully this helps but I wouldn't try tame one super early game :)
Hyaenodons will only fight someone who they think they can beat. If the Hyaenodons do not think they can beat you, they will run. If they do, they will attack.
Wait!!!!!!!!! No hurt doggo only pet with guilly suit!!!!! Pet doggo
