Well, my problem is, I'm not even getting this far. I only ever had one wolf. Whenever I try to get a second one, the first one meets an untimely demise... :P

Tall earthen walls either through deep pits or raised terrain are my formula for both wolves and lox. I've posted several screenshots of my wolves showing their gymnastic abilities by building a wolf pyramid and getting over a 5-6 meter earthen wall to attack a wandering dwarf. Lox do the same thing but it doesn't take near as many to stack several meters.

One of my wolf pits below the breeding tower had to have a inner lip of flooring to create a ceiling they couldn't just push up and over. The best one I have has to be about 20 meters total in height - dug down to the max and earthen walls built up to the max. Pro-tip: don't fall off the top ledge with low hp lol.

I'm still trying to find a 'fail-safe' lox breeding scenario. They kick up a fuss when mobs are around so one thing that I'll be trying is keeping them away from the unregulated edge of the base and not have any built items in 'frenzy' range. That singular lox base is split on Plains/Black Forest/ Mountain/Meadows with a side of Swamp so I have the lox/wolf/boar pens totally covered (shakes fist at deathsquitos and drakes).

Keep at it, there are solutions to our taming woes. Think how 'fun' real world livestock management must be.
