    Anything territorial with a social structure (wolves, horses & boars being great examples of successful domestications, otters and falcons for in-progress domestications and foxes and raccoons good candidates) are prime domestication material as the human can become the social leader and they won’t be as inclined to leave what is their pack’s territory

    That said, it takes thousands of years to fully domesticate something, which is why “semi-domesticated” otters and falcons just sort of help out with hunting without being “friendly” enough to be predictable

      Foxes are already domesticated. A Russian scientist did it to test what is needed for domestication.
