My idea is simple and effective. Have craftable dog collars that are required to claim ownership of a tamed wolf. This would change the taming process a bit, but would be much better in the end.
When you tame a wolf; he will follow you, but he will not have a collar and will eventually despawn just like an untamed wolf. In order to claim him as your pet, you will need make a collar. Once you've crafted a collar, simply use it on a tamed wolf and he will don the collar and become your lifelong companion. Using a collar will also give you an opportunity to name the wolf, after which his name will show above him.
There would also be different types of collars, some with different benefits than others.
The first type would be a basic colored collar.

Where is a dye of your choice. This will make a basic collar with no special benefits, with the color of the applied dye (no dye will leave it brown).
The next type would be a studded collar. []
[] [] []
Where is a plain collar and is either an Iron Ignot, Gold Ignot, or diamond. The studded collar would provide attack bonuses depending on what material is used for the studs.
Then comes the rimmed collar.

A rimmed collar provides a defense bonus instead of an attack bonus, again depending on the type of material used.
By using this you would be able to differentiate between your pets, and you could also equip them depending on how you like to use them. Discuss.
