Don't hit it.

[Nepocrates]

put them on follow

[Jon]

put the animal on passive while you are near it. Set the animal to neutral after you have done your duties.

[TranZdog]

Set then on neutral or passive

[Phantasm98532]

Stop using chloroform

[BellatorMonk]

I think you need to turn off the auto collect on the Dino.

[AshliRose]

put your dino on passive and force feed it narco berries.

[Dragorin]

Whistle - and ;

And stop hitting your unconscious dino!! duh

This has been in the game for some time now, all Carivores do this.
as soon as you press U they eat the dead corpse though I havent tried this on Passive? I always keep mine on Neutral.

I never put mine on passive, just "knock out" the dino far away from where I have them parked (usually on "attack my target" mode). After it's knocked out, I drop the appropriate food in it's inventory, and go fetch them to be used as bodyguards. I believe the problem here is the "hitting" which is triggering pet combat. Don't hit the unconscious beast, use narcotics/narcoberries to keep it in a torpor state.

Put them to follow. Follow pet will not eat stuff.

Disable Following on your dinos, when you get them there, before doing anything else.

I use my Carnos and Raptors as guards by bringing them up and 'parking' them while I tame; if something comes up that wants to bite the critter I'm taming, I attack it and get its attention and back into the carnos/raptors...they usually tear whatever it is to pieces, if I haven't already killed it.
