Were the first dogs domesticated by hunter-gatherers or by humans of the Agrarian Revolution?

The first dogs were likely domesticated by hunter-gatherers, as evidence suggests that this process began around 20,000 to 40,000 years ago, before the Agrarian Revolution. Early humans may have formed a symbiotic relationship with wolves, leading to the domestication of dogs for companionship, protection, and assistance in hunting. This relationship evolved alongside human cultures, but the initial domestication occurred well before the shift to agricultural societies.
