A sabertooth is a very good early game option but many player like myself find it hard to tame.

An easy way to tame it is to trap it first,a easy trap is a stone 4x4 with door frames with some ramps to get it in the trap.

After you get it in the trap and knock it out you can feed it meat but I recommend finding a lamp to kill and get raw lamp meat you can find lamps in the mountains but they are pretty rare to find.
