Beast Master is exactly what you've been hoping for.
Beast Master provides a stream-lined, immersive method for taming, commanding, and interacting with the creatures of the Wasteland.

Beast Master allows you to tame the creatures caught through Wasteland Workshop through use of a new item called the Control Chip. Creatures implanted with a Control Chip will gain enhanced intelligence and be able to understand human speech, allowing you to talk to them, give them commands, even recruit them as a companion.
Both the Control Chip and the Advanced Control Chip can be crafted at the chemistry workbench under "Utility". Simply approach the creature you wish to tame with a Control Chip in hand and choose the option "Inject Control Chip" to get things started.
