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.

I would advise against taming hyaenodons,I just wasted 2 HOURS that I'll never get back and still don't have a hyaenodon,up so newbies can see this

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

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

Use an araneo (if araneo never gets aggro by anything.) he won’t provoke the doggo while u pet

gud boi

You pet them, you don’t knock em out, pet doggo don’t hurt doggo

If you want to find a good cheap taming pen go whatch phlinger phoo 👍

If you can try and to lead them to a deep place of water since they will swim above the water and then just pet them from underneath you will be able to tame more too because the are unable to swim fast

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.

Despite it's appearance, the real life hyaenodon was nowhere near related to actual hyenas, but it actually belongs to a group of prehistoric mammals, all extinct, that are believed to be most closely related to pangolins, which aren't related to anteaters or armadillos, for your information.

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

He’s a good doggo he likes to be pet when your in a ghilie suit

Trap in a tent!!! You can crouch and follow while wearing ghillie and trap!! Just open the flap and stay crouched off to the side and spam the pet button!!! Works on official PvE!! I have an army!!!

Build a 1x1 box with door frames and throw a hatch ceiling and 4 more regular walls up and throw it in, it's butt will hang down and you can crouch and pet it under it without spooking it. You CAN tame without alpha present but if it becomes spooked you have to leave your chunk and let it reset.

Basically follow them around and when there parents aren't looking pet them

WEAR GHILLE ARMOR IT MAKES IT EASIER TO TAME THESE GUYS

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.
