yea.. i think that happen because of world saving process.. its kinda annoying though.. i try to figure this out by checking the nbt tag of those wolf.. but its kinda waste of time due to many chunks i had
as far as i know from the forum.. this wolf bug exist since 2011 and they just recommend to kill them and find another wolf...
I sadly realised that in 1.15.4 I cannot right click on my cat and my dog. Is there a way to modify them via game files to fix them?
Good news! I worked on it an hour last week and I found out what causes the problem and how to fix that! I will make a quick youtube video soon (if it turn out to be crap don't blame me, I am not into making vids and I want to provide a solution for everyone)
@unknown, literally just type the four capital letters "UUID". The provided commands are already complete; you just need to copy and paste them, and run them while standing within 5 blocks of your pet.

(similar issue on server with plugins?) Right clicking the animal with a food item allowed me to sit/stand my cat.
I could not seem to reproduce this in 24w46a. I joined a world in online mode, tamed a wolf, and then closed both the game and launcher. I then unplugged my internet connection and turned off my Wi-Fi, then booted the game up again. After loading into the world and trying to make the dog sit/stand, it was able to.
Are there any necessary steps or setup requirements I am missing? If so, some additional context would be appreciated.

Happened to me too in a world I had since 1.12: 7 wolves, none of them standed up, I had to kill all of them :'(
The only explanation I can figure out is that there is a problem when you update a world to a newer version and for some reason it happens
