I'm told that wolves won't go through doors (even if they're open). The workaround is to make a 1-block-square doggy door for them. Alternatively, just get far enough away and they'll teleport to you.
They also won't go anywhere (or teleport to you) if you tell them to sit down.
Still haven't found any yet, but it's only a matter of time before one shows up in the forest I've been logging. Playing on "peaceful", though, so no bones to tame them with.
Now that I think about it, it was sitting. Does right-clicking make them do that? I may have inadvertently told it to 'sit' after it became my friend after only one bone. I thought surely a wolf's devotion couldn't be had so cheaply, so I tried again. I guess I may have made my wolf stationary.
Right-clicking does toggle their sitting/standing state, yes (at least according to Minepedia).
I've given up on finding this sort of thing out by experimentation or on the forums, in favour of just checking "version history" on Minepedia every time the game updates itself. I'll then click through to any of the new blocks or critters or features introduced.
It's worth looking up the "bed" entry, too, as apparently monsters can phase through walls and eat you if your bed is next to the wall. A one-space gap all around the bed prevents this.
...To clarify: By "minepedia" I mean minecraftwiki.net, which calls itself that. A new site seems to have cropped up which actually uses "minepedia.net", but it appears to be run by different people.
Yea, one can always do a one square hole to let Wolfie in....and Sheepie and Piggy and Chicky and Slimy Jr. One nice thing about mining is it gets me away from the god awful noises that the inevitable barnyard orchestra makes after dark. Doesn't matter if I dont leave torches outside, as any light that leaks out through windows is enough to spawn animals. I swear the cows are spawned pregnant, and they are in constant labor pains.
Apparently wolves also have the ability to teleport, as I discovered when I was doing some work inside while leaving the dog inside. I wouldn't mind them hanging around so much except they are always bumping into me...

I've never seen any critter except the ducks fit through a 1x1 hole. I'm _told_ that works for wolves too, so it should work adequately as a pet door.
Slimes spawn anywhere they please, so you aren't changing the number that appear in your mines.
