If you sprint towards it, the fox will wake up and run away. Do this twice so that you have two adult foxes captured. Make sure to surround them in 5 high walls to prevent them from escaping. Now right click both the foxes with ‘Sweet berries’ in your hand. The foxes in Minecraft are bred using sweet berries. Breeding the foxes will spawn a kit that will trust you. Quickly put a lead on the kit. This step is important because, even though the pup trusts the player, it tends to follow an adult fox.
