Hi, I’m Nivedita Prabhukumar, and I have been training dogs for 12 years.

I made a choice to step away from my corporate job to pursue dog training, all thanks to my first dog, Junior—a sensitive and fearful rescue who taught me more than I could have imagined. When I struggled to find a trainer who truly understood dogs like him, I realized that so many pet parents were in the same boat. Confident Dogs was founded in 2013 and ever since, I have strived to stay true to the reason this brand was created.

My specialty includes working with sensitive dogs—those who have experienced trauma in puppyhood, leading to fear issues or even aggression towards other dogs and people. Over the years, I’ve collaborated with vets, groomers, physiotherapists, hydrotherapists, nutritionists, boarders, and many other pet professionals to understand how every aspect of a dog’s life impacts behavior. This has shaped my holistic approach to training, where reward-based methods play a crucial role in helping dogs build trust, confidence, and resilience.

One of my biggest learnings has been the impact of genetics and early experiences on a dog’s temperament. That’s why my work has evolved from traditional “dog training” to —where training goes hand in hand with health, grooming, and overall well-being.

In 2020, I noticed a spike in misinformation on social media and the need for creating a safe space for pet parents to navigate the overwhelming information explosion.

So at Confident Dogs I made a decision to open up this account to allow pet parents to reach out to me to answer their questions and creating content based on the issues they were facing on a daily basis. It has helped shape this Instagram community, making it more interactive and impactful. Now, with a new team on board, we’re gearing up to do even more—exciting times ahead!

Are you new here, or have you been following for a while? I’d love to get to know you and your dogs better—because, let’s be honest, they’re the real superstars, aren’t they? Let me know in the comments!

Thank you .thika for this extremely heartwarming review! I am so overwhelmed 🙏🏽💚

Living and working with a sensitive dog is not easy at all and I am so proud of you for showing up for your dog consistently despite the good and bad days. Watching you navigate all those challenges have been so inspiring. And watching Oreo respond to our exercises and consistently choose the behaviours we want was just so exciting!

Every single video update makes my heart jump with joy! Thank you so much for trusting the online training process and for trusting me and keeping an open mind about the hard conversations.

Lots of love to you and Oreo 💚🧿🫂

One of those moments when you are really amazed at the results of online training! Coco lives in Anantpur and came to me with history of aggression specifically resource guarding.

One of the most important skills for any dog is to accept grooming, handling, medication, Elizabethan collar and muzzle. More so for dogs that get stressed easily.

Coco is lucky to have in his life. She took over every small detail of his life from nutrition, rest, basic and advanced training, play and walks and has made him extremely predictable. I am amazed at how she pays such amazing detail to everything I tell her and implements it so perfectly. We could not have achieved this without her grit and determination.

We started with simply putting treats inside his muzzle a few months back and this video made me so overwhelmed. It takes a different level of love and dedication to get here with just online training!

Coco will be a lifelong work in progress with strict protocol for family, people other than family and other dogs. This involves baby gates, muzzles, isolation in another room, selective walking routes and times, etc. for life. But that will not stop us from making his life happy and as enriched as possible. So proud of for understanding and accepting this and implementing it so beautifully!

As I always say, proudly, I have the bestest clients 💚

Thank you Ian () and Berni() for this heartwarming review. Thank you so much for trusting me all the way from Sydney, Australia!

I remember our first conversation in 2022 very well. I was also new to full fledged online training, especially complicated behaviour work. And I remember us discussing and setting small achievable objectives and moving forward one step at a time.

It was one of the most complex dynamics in a multi dog household that I have worked with but you both made it look SO easy!

Watching Missy get adjusted to car travel, isolation, reduced barking and enjoy outdoors has been one of my most cherished moments in my career. Watching Seven blossom into her true self and see her be playful has been so rewarding! And how Ollie just understands how hard everyone is working to achieve harmony and cooperates in his own Ollie way! Remarkable dog!

You both really inspire me in how you show up for your dogs despite severe health challenges and never once complained about all the small patient steps needed for Missy’s journey. Always smiling in our sessions and celebrating the small wins! Thank you again for giving me the privilege to be your behaviourist. Big hugs to you both. Do visit us again soon! Phoebe would be thrilled to see you and Ian once again and nap on Ian’s lap in the car ☺️💚🧿
