In Minecraft, wolves can be found in the wild. These animals can be tamed and turned into a pet dog that follows you. This dog not only acts as your companion, it also protects you by attacking dangerous enemies. You can also breed domesticated dogs to produce more friendly dogs. This wikiHow teaches you how to tame and breed wolves and dogs.
Step
Step 1. Get the bones
Skeletons and wither skeletons drop bones when defeated. Bones can also be obtained from chests in the desert and forest temples or picked up when fishing.
Step 2. Find the wolf
This animal appears in the Forest, Taiga, Mega Taiga, Cold Taiga, and Cold Taiga M biomes. If you play in creative mode, you can also spawn wolves using wolf spawn eggs.
Step 3. Use the bones to tame the wolf
Open the inventory and slide, then drop the bones into the inventory. Select a bone by pressing the corresponding button on the keyboard, or press the left and right shoulder buttons on the controller stick until the toolbar gap with the bone is highlighted. Walk up to the wolf and right click on it or or press the left trigger on the controller to give it a bone. You will know that the wolf has been tamed when a heart icon appears above it and its collar turns red.
It might take a few tries and there's a good chance the wolf will eat your bones. Once you've tamed it, you can make your dog sit or follow you by right-clicking. When tamed, it will sit by itself. You need to right-click for the wolf to follow you
Step 4. Tame the second wolf
You need to have two wolves to breed. Use the bones to tame the second wolf.
In Minecraft, animals, villagers and enemies have no gender. Don't worry about whether the wolf is male or female
Step 5. Feed the dogs so they enter love mode
Make sure the two dogs are close to each other. Feed him all kinds of meat to put him into love mode. You will see a heart appear above the dog. When the two dogs enter into love mode and get close to each other, they will breed and give birth to puppies.
