In most domestication situations humans weren't the ones directing the domestication. Just kind of adapted to them. Like with cereals that mutated to not disperse because humans were carrying them around and dispersing for them. Reduced neophoboia and reduced dispersal drive, the key things for wolf domestication, just came about from wolves eating human settlement trash and breeding with the others that would stick around instead of doing the natural thing and dispersing to new territory. For the most part adult wolves do not tolerate their sexually mature offspring sticking around their territory (and the mature offspring do not tolerate their parents). That's why you can go and raise a wolf pup just fine today, but don't expect it to turn into a dog.
