To be able to tame beasts in Rise of the Ronin, you need to go to the Stats menu and then head to the Charm skill tree. Here, you will come across a special skill titled Beast Whisperer. This is the ability will let you tame beasts on your Ronin journey.

This skill needs to be upgraded to its maximum level to be most effective. At its early levels, the Beast Whisperer will make it very hard for animals to detect you, so you can sneak around them more easily. However, when it is at its maximum level, you will finally be able to tame beasts and use their assistance across all the different difficulty settings in Rise of the Ronin.

To level up this ability, you need skill points. You can get these by participating in open-world activities, leveling up, and increasing weapon proficiency.

To tame a beast, you must sneak up on an animal from behind by pressing the button L3. After you get close to them and hit the Triangle button, instead of the usual sneak attack, the protagonist will pet the creature. This will let you tame it and make it your ally.

Subsequently, this animal can help you fight enemies, clear out camps, assist in named boss fights, and so on.
