Wolves are not Lifestock, they should defend you. Not running wild, destroying youre base, mating like rabbits and lagging youre game out, while destroying your ears with their howling every few seconds.

When wolves where this way in RL, we rather would eat dogmeat today or had nothing in any form of dogs because of the annoyance.

Perhaps you should use a different approach to wolves.
Having them running around is no problem.
Having them killing things is no problem either, as that's the reason most people tame and breed them in the first place.
Destroying your base? I haven't seen the wolves I have tamed doing that.
Breeding like rabbits? Well, you can start by removing the meat from what they killed.
No meat, no breeding. Nor will they breed when you keep sticking arround. So either remove the meat or move somewhere else once in a while and they won't breed at all.
Which also solves the lagging you seem to have to deal with.
As for the howling, only the cubs howl. Which can be countered by making sure the wolves can't breed. Which can be done by removing the meat or moving elsewhere.

I've bred a wolf-army to deal with Yagluth and yes, the cub howling can be annoying. I solved that by making sure I was at my base and do something else until some days had passed and the howling stopped. At that point I just dropped in some more meat at the breeding pens and went afk again.
It's as simple as that.
