I've only ever found starred wolves at night. When I have a large enough mountain range I dig trenches and set up crafting tables in key areas. When a pack of wolves find me I death star run down to the end, jump up and out place a wall then pick off the extra wolves with a bow and arrows.

Next step toss a stack of meat into hole and 'go hide'. Eventually the wolf will calm down, just trust that it will. Crouch and wait for the open eye to go away. The biggest part to know is that the wolf will only eat at night. It might take a few days for it to fully tame. Once it starts to tame it might linger after log out, but the only successful two star wolf I've ever tamed I did by just making a hidey hole going to take a shower, eating dinner, and watched two or three episodes of anime. I kept an eye to make sure I wasn't dead.

Eventually I came back (about 7-10 in game days) and checked and the wolf was tamed.
