[2020] Taming wild animals

I have yet to successfully tame any wild animals despite it being almost the only thing I'm trying to do at this point.

Version: I am using the most recent itch.io version of the game (as of the 14/06/2020)

Problem: Whenever I try to get a villager (humans) to tame an animal they will either ingore my order (if they want to do something else) or get stuck in a loop around my base, running through the crops, then through the storage room (might be incidental) and back again.

Attempted Fixes:

1. Making my villager a Shepard
2. Making my villager a Laborer
3. Disabling all skills other than taming (oops)
4. Disabling all skills other than taming and carry (this resulted in them looping)
