Steven’s Bootcamp Dog Training is a professional dog training business serving Indianapolis and the greater metropolitan area, founded by Steven Hull, a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) and AKC Certified Evaluator with over 300 dogs trained and 16 years of military service experience. They offer personalized training programs including In-Home Training, Bootcamp (board and train), Puppy Training, and Psychiatric Service Dog Training, all using balanced training methods that combine positive reinforcement with corrective measures. Their unique advantages include a low 2-dogs-per-trainer ratio, free in-home consultations, year-long complimentary group classes after any program, and flexible options with or without e-collars to align with owner values. They emphasize building the human-canine bond through empathy, transparency, and customized plans tailored to each dog’s temperament and behavior needs.

Their team includes trained professionals like Alivia Taylor, who assists with puppy and positive reinforcement programs, and Brittany Amado, who manages operations and client communications. They provide ongoing support via text, email, or phone and host Saturday group classes at two Indianapolis locations to reinforce training and build community.

Steven’s Bootcamp Dog Training stands out by refusing one-size-fits-all approaches, offering honest referrals when they’re not the right fit, and maintaining competitive pricing with more value than corporate competitors. They train dogs of all ages and sizes, from puppies to adults, and specialize in behavior modification for reactivity, separation anxiety, leash pulling, and more.
