She didn't go with Arya because she has moved beyond the point in her life where she can just be the pet to a young girl in a castle... Just as Arya has moved well beyond being a young girl in a castle.

Plus, Arya will probably need the wolf to come flying out of nowhere when she is in an inescapable situation to save the day at some point in the future.
It's not as dramatic if the wolf joins up with her now.
