The problem started when the first Update Aquatic release came out. I noticed all the wolves and ocelots I tamed in a precious version would not stand up. They were all in a sitting position, and every time I positioned the cursor over them the “Sit/Stand” option showed up for a split second before it disappeared. I also can’t get them to stand even if I press the correct button on my gaming controller.

I was hoping this problem would be fixed as the newer aquatic updates came out, but I’ve had no such luck. Any wolves or ocelots I tame in the newer aquatic updates behave normally - they can sit and stand.
