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!

It's easy enough to just kill the pack and follow the one you want to tame. Full ghilly and just stay behind it, just within reach of petting.
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.
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
Please stop asking to add different Dino’s to mobile! This app isn’t made by the developers of Ark Mobile! Spread the word!
You cannot find these guys sadly on mobile.

You pet them, you don’t knock em out, pet doggo don’t hurt doggo
Normally you can't tame the pack leader, so just get a pteranodon or argy, pick it up and drop it in a large area (like a separate section of your base). When you take it away from the rest of the pack, it removes its 'pack leader' title, allowing you to tame the highest level hyena of that pack.
