Testimonials

“I was at my wit’s end with a rescue husky puppy. Steven and Alivia made me feel better about my situation! I did in home puppy school and the Puppy Bootcamp 8-5pm for two weeks. She’s still a husky and still a puppy but this experience changed my relationship with her and gave me confidence that we can spend her life happily together.
They are patient and caring to the dogs and honestly became trusted advisors and friends to me during this process.
Sauni graduated today and now my responsibility will be to keep what’s been learned in her mind. They trained both of us.
I highly recommend their services. They will tailor the experience to you and your beloved pet. I intend to continue training with them as the program also includes group sessions for several months, as well as going further into certification so perhaps we can be a therapy team for others in need. I’m so thankful for Steven and his staff.”

“We have a dog we adopted when he when he was around 2yrs old. What we didn’t realize is how much the dog had been through with his former owner. He was very reactive towards other dogs and wanted to nip at them. Steven is very much a dog whisperer. After just a few sessions with Steven, he was able to get our dog within a few feet of his shepherd. We are now able to walk our dog around the neighborhood and not have to worry about him being out of our control.”

“We cannot recommend enough! Steven’s tailored approach to each dog sets him apart from others. He took the time to educate us, ensure we understood how tolls would be implemented and were comfortable with those processes. He really took the time to get to know our pup Pharaoh and communicated thoroughly through every stage. He had great instincts with our dog and it shows through our dogs confidence post-training! I look forward to the continued training with group class.”

STEVEN’S BOOTCAMP DOG TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

Puppy Training Program

Our puppy training program is designed to set a strong foundation for lifelong learning, focusing on socialization, confidence-building, and essential obedience skills. Through positive reinforcement and engaging activities, we help puppies develop good manners, understand commands, and build trust with their owners.

Our goal is to create a positive learning experience that strengthens the bond between puppies and their owners, setting them up for success as they grow.

Bootcamp Dog Training Program

No, it is not nearly as grueling as military bootcamp. This program offers a focused and highly personalized experience, where your dog trains in a calm, distraction-free environment. Many dogs struggle to focus at home—doorbells, kids, squirrels, and daily chaos make learning tough. That’s why we’ve created a space where your dog can truly concentrate, absorb commands, and build confidence.
As your dog progresses, we thoughtfully introduce real-world distractions—so they’re not just trained, they’re ready. Whether it’s a crowded sidewalk or a noisy park, your dog will learn to respond reliably in any situation.
What sets us apart? Individualized attention.
While many companies assign 3 to 4 dogs per trainer, we limit it to just 2 dogs per trainer. That means your dog gets the focused training they deserve, with plenty of rest between sessions to recharge and retain what they’ve learned.

In-Home Training Program

In-home dog training with Steven’s Bootcamp Dog Training offers a convenient way to promote good behavior and obedience in your dog within the comfort of your home. A professional trainer visits you, eliminating the need for travel and providing personalized guidance in your dog’s natural environment. This customized approach directly addresses specific issues like leash pulling, jumping, separation anxiety, and reactivity, enhancing your bond and communication. Each session is tailored to your dog’s unique needs, making it an excellent option for those managing mobility challenges, home responsibilities, or busy schedules.

Psychiatric Service Dog Training Program

Our Service Dog Training Package is designed to prepare dogs for assisting individuals with disabilities, ensuring they meet the highest standards of reliability and obedience. This comprehensive package includes:

  • Basic Obedience Training – Foundational commands such as sit, stay, and heel to establish discipline.
  • Public Access Training – Exposure to various environments to promote calm and focused behavior in public spaces.
  • Task-Specific Training – Customized training designed to meet the handler’s specific requirements, with tasks uniquely suited to the condition the dog is trained to assist with.
  • Handler Partnership Training – Sessions to educate handlers on effective communication and teamwork with their service dog.
  • Certification and Support – Completion of rigorous assessments and ongoing resources to maintain the dog’s training and performance.

This program is designed to foster strong bonds between service dogs and their handlers, ensuring a smooth transition into daily life.

Group Classes

Your dog’s training journey is just beginning after graduating from one of our programs. We are excited to offer group classes every Saturday at two convenient locations in Indianapolis, making it easy for you to continue your dog’s education, and these classes are included in every package. These group classes are vital to enhancing your dog’s training, regardless of whether the dog has been trained for general obedience or trained as a service dog. They present invaluable opportunities for socialization, distraction management, routine and consistency, confidence building, and a supportive community for you as a dog owner.
