However, I believe Homo sapiens is already pretty domesticated. (neotenate, potentially herbivorous, able to breed in captivity, pleasant disposition, not prone to panic, willing to live in large hierarchically dominated herds)

Dogs are far, far more aggressive than their wild counterparts. Their wild counterparts, in general, are not territorial against non-canids, and pretty much only attack if they are hungry.
Wolves have evolved to optimize for their own survival, and although they are powerful predators, they are risk averse as well, and will not go after prey that they are unsure of -- you would be too if you had to use your strength to kill for every single meal or starve to death if injured.
Dogs have been bred to fearlessly protect and attack the owner at all costs, including putting their own survival on the line, which is very much NOT how wolves think.
I'd much rather be in wolf or coyote territory than a place with stray dogs.
