I have never tamed one of these things, not even tried, but try to decrease mount usage during taming. They will use their fear roar and scare your mount away, so try to decrease how much you rely on your tamed during the knockout phase. I feel like ARK did this because they just want to see how well players do when taming a big carnivore without use of a mount.
