Yep. It took almost no time at all. For may years wolf and human bones have been found together. Wolves would have originally been used for fur and even food, but I think is generally accepted that the were almost instantly ‘domesticated’

They still looked like wolves and lived outside. In each generation the most tame would be bred and the rest would not. Tame meaning not being shy or afraid of humans as opposed to the tame we accept now in our pets. Started about 14,000 years ago.
