A hunter oriented culture would be unlikely to make a pet or companion out of a food animal. Must have been after agriculture started to “take root”.

A medieval horseman with a frog growing out of his forehead rode up to the local doctor and astrologer. The vet was already considering recommending a good bleeding as the cure.
"How did this start?"
The frog replied, "it started as a wart on my ass."

Which was domesticated first, the horse or the dog? Without doubt the dog by a wide margin. As pointed out in this thread, the horse is difficult for exact dating but archeological evidence has horse related burial presence back to circa 2,000 BC. The domestication of the dog variant from the wolf dates, at a minimum back to 18,000 BC with arguments of a date 20,000 years earlier.

now if we could only domesticate women You do realize that our betters have these terms reversed, right? And that arguing with them is just proof to them that they are correct, right? The original of "Heads I win, tails you lose!"

Actually there is evidence that horses were used by the Solutrean culture 15,000-20,000BC near Roche de Solutre sometimes called the Wind Horse period

Theres no evidence that the early animal domesticates (dogs , horses, pigs) were pets. The earliest horse culture was nomadic (and stayed that way long after taming horses).

“”Solutrean culture 15,000-20,000BC””
An interesting history behind those folks. I got interested in them when a local professor asked me to replicate a few flint blades and points from that period.
