Taming animals takes way too long.

Am I just doing something wrong? I have a settler with 24 animal handling skill with animal handling on 1 priority and it takes absolutely ages to tame anything.

depends on the stats for that animal. chickens for example taming from wild is like 80-90% so 1 go usually does it. TRAINING is what takes bloody ages

taming has taken over 2 years with no completion, its like 30% I think the game just hates me

Yes, you tame a dog for 2+ years and when you finally tamed it, it dies of old age after a year

ive seen players suggest save scumming the tame ie save each day before the attempt...fail = reload
understandable if against the practice

also some animals are vanity projects like foxes for example
another thing to bear in mind is currently on test there's animal trading and afew tweaks like animals slow down more weight they carry (affects dogs hauling bodies etc )

im sad foxes cant attack or haul. theyre kinda pointless.. and i love foxes Dx

I've been trying to tame a wolf that I trapped in my base. Hilariously it has dropped to 0% tamed after about 2 years or so, after getting to a high of around 50%.
I mean, I get that it should be hard, but I'm failing to see the point.

Amusingly, I feed it dead Marauders, so I suppose I'm training it to like the taste of human flesh. What could go wrong? :0
