Don't forget the howling... the incessant howling. Once the howling starts from tamed wolves, it starts to wear on your nerves until you either kill them all off or move them far, far away from anywhere you spend a lot of time.

i never get sick of my wolves howling.

i have two ways for you to tame wolves.

ONE

To tame a wolf you need to build a square fence (and make sure each side is completely enclosed) two layers of fence is good. build this prison with two doors. one door on one end, one door on another. open them both so they open into the square. make a wall all the way around your fence so that they don't ever see you this way they don't get mad and start to break your box. put raw meat on the ground inside your box and lure a wolf to you box. be sure to build the box near your base so you can have them follow you back to it if you want (i use my wolves as a garrison) lead one wolf at a time.
anyway, lead the wolf through one door and then hold up your shield so you can block his hit. after he attacks you you have a few milliseconds to close the door. block him, and run out the other door closing it as you go.
leave him to eat in peace and don't let him see you

TWO

build a fence box with two doors. leave raw meat on the ground, go get a wolf to chase you, lure him into the box, close a door, run out of the other, close it, get your hammer out and repair everything he breaks.
watch his senses of you so you can leave after he forgets about you. you might want to do this one away from any creatures because their mere presence will make him mad.
