    To be able to tame and ride dragons you will need the Bend Will shout and you will need all 3 words of this shout.

    To get this shout you will have to travel to Solstheim. After progressing though the main quest there you will learn the 1st word during the quest Cleansing the Stones and you will able to cleanse the All-Maker Stones located throughout the island by shouting at them.

    The 2nd word is learned from Hermaeus Mora at the end of The Path of Knowledge. It allows you to force other NPCs and creatures to become temporary allies.

    The 3rd word and last word is taught to you by Hermaeus Mora at the end of The Gardener of Men quest ,this will allow you to temporarily tame and ride dragons.

    Now while in game use cn_B go to Magic and then down to Shouts ,find the Bend will and be sure all 3 words are unlocked by using a dragon soul on them and click cn_RT to have it as your active shout.

    Now we will need to find 5 different dragons as it cannot be the same and use cn_RB on the dragon you will find,the dragon will land near you and wait a few seconds only so be sure to get close to him and cn_A to ride him. Do this 5 times on different dragons and the achievement should pop.Also if you want to get off the dragon click cn_A one time only, if you tap cn_A again it will cancel the landing.

    You'll need all three words of the Bend Will shout to be able to tame dragons, but the good news is that you'll obtain them all as part of Dragonborn's main questline. Once you have them, you can fast travel around Skyrim to the various dragon locations on your map and simply use it 5 times.

    To tame a dragon, use the full shout on it when it gets close. It will land nearby, and if you approach it you'll be prompted to press A to mount it. Do this and enjoy the view a bit, then press A again to have the dragon land so you can move on to the next one.

    Note: This must be done on 5 different dragons! It doesn't count towards the achievement if you wait for the same dragon to become hostile again and then tame it again. (Thanks ponypo2001 for reminding me.)
