Dogs are ancestors of the wolf. There are sufficient proofs that the domestication of dogs started more than 30,000 years back, long before the domestication of animal species. Humans and dogs - wolf ancestors were remarkably compatible.
Human and wolf both are very social. Dogs-wolves can separate nicely off of bones and other human food wastes thrown away by them. In this way, the process of wolves following humans around.
This enabled them in getting access to edible trash as well as enhancing their own tracking ability from humans. Their great sense of smell and night vision also helped the ability of humans in tracking enemy and hunting.
In this way, early wolves domesticated themselves to human and kept in close contact with humans. They were getting more food and thus survived and reproducing at better rates, passing on those genes to succeeding generations.
Thus, wolves became domesticated and tamed by human successfully.
