I have tried for years to tame one of these dogos never had any luck n never used traps that being said i tried it ealier didnt see the thing about not going after an alpha doggo. I trapped the aplha in my mantis trap while he was trapped i run around and made sure that he was a sigma buy getting rid of his subordinates. Then i discovered even in full guillie he was still aggro went out of render would instantly aggo me so i relogged and apon relogging he was docile chill like who needs a pack the true sigma doggo i let him out and followed him giving him pets approximately 6-10 feet behind and every time hes stop roughly every 15 seconds id creep up pet the puppers the back of a couple feet note he always turn away from the side your creepin up on him from so if ya come from right rear, after pet he will turn to the left usully in about a from 12 to 10 angle and visa vera is you hugged the left but itd be 12 and 2 also im playing this on ase mobile so make note cuz this is where i always screwed this tame up when you pet its not like useing your last slot feed type option like how you pet the listro. you must open the wheel and physically select pet or i garentee nothing will happen except scaring off the poor puppers
Scooby dooby doo where are you
They won’t attack unless they’re others nearby.
Yea… dont hit them :/

WEAR GHILLE ARMOR IT MAKES IT EASIER TO TAME THESE GUYS
On Scorched earth you can place a tent on them, follow behind it with the tent ready to set it down, the tent will be red but let it walk to an out edge and spam the place button. Once it's inside open the door it will pop it's head out as it walks around so just crouch to the side of the opening and pet it when it does. As long as your not to close to the opening it can't detect you.
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!
Just started taming these guys and it can be easily startled to ruin the taming. I noticed that if you use First Person View, it gives you a slightly longer range to pet these guys without disturbing them during taming. Hope this helps😊
Don't Shift + Tab for steam overlay, the sprint key makes you stand up. Also don't change from crouches to prone, any stance change will scare him/her
1 foundation, 3 walls, 2 quarter walls, 1 triangle roof and a ramp.
Grab with argent drop in pen
Add the roof and the ramp to the quarter walls
Will be trapped and unable to move in the corner
Crouch walk up ramp, pet.
Easiest tame.
They have the cutest taming method evr
If you go a little to the side it can help because he will sometimes stop from all of a sudden and you will bump into him.
Easy nice tame, as long as you can kill around 3 other you could probably get them easy once you have chillie
Phlinger phoo has a very good trap to tame these dudes. Just make the containment chamber a bit bigger.
So I just tamed one and it just walked up on door frame and door lmao
1. Dont Use door frame and door
2. After petting keep your Distance
3. Never make eye contact even if you are wearing ghillie armor. They get scared
4. You got a HardToGetDogo.
Here's how to tame a hyaenodon:
1. They are passive tames, which means you don't need to knock them out to tame them.
2. Walk up to one slowly from the back, but don't get too close. And then pet it. Wearing ghillie armor can reduce the chances of the hyaenodon spotting you.
3. Keep petting it until it's tamed.
I hope this helped! Bye!

Great On Fjordur - Giga walks over them without clipping/stopping. Easy meat runs on Asgard. They stay close enough to transfer meat after dismounting giga and follow closely when searching for meat. Just be sure to turn tame name plates on in UI. Used four with meat packs, easy black bags of meat.
