oh. you meant that way. I thought you meant mount/ride as in use them for movement, my bad. maybe you need like with the raptors like you need like to unlock the wolf stuff? you can increase any non named enemies affection/favor using a love potion in battle. maybe try that and see if the option appears to train it at home?
for this the love potion doesn't make anyone go away, it just increases favorability or gives a special scene if it's an NPC. the special scene thing though only occurs if you use it from a dialog option, not in a fight. but if you get into a fight with a named NPC who you interact with often, love potion's have literally 0 effect. one person who is like that, is Sabal. the angry tiger has no love potion stuff. if you want him to leave you alone you can try and either craft smoke bombs to escape instead of fighting him or just plain old running away. other than that he's an important NPC so it's not likely you can get him to leave you alone for good.
and the last bit, i think it's been a minute since the guide got an update according to a comment I read a little while ago. I'm not sure if that's true, but that might be why the puzzle isn't on it.
quick question tho, is the puzzle your talking about the one in the second forest where Sabal chases you if you trigger a trap in certain spots? cause if yes, you actually can avoid him by avoiding the spots that trigger him being alert or waiting until he passes you by hiding in certain places. and also if the puzzle your mean IS the second one in his forest zone, I am 90% sure it's still in the works and hasn't been added.
