I disagree. "Domestication" is a pretty defined process in terms of agriculture. It takes generations of selective breeding to create a domesticated version of a species, and a bunch of physical and behavioural traits have to be bred out. A wild animal can be tamed, but it would never be considered domesticated. You can take a wolf pup and raise it to be tamed, but it will never be a domesticated wolf (dog).

I'd be curious to know where you got that definition.
