Hey, I’m Nick — a lifelong dog guy, proud husband and father of three, and the person behind Confident Pup.
Our family’s always had dogs. Our current pup Apollo is sweet as can be, but gets a little worked up when new people come around. I know what it’s like to have a great dog with a few anxiety quirks — and I also know how tough it can be to find advice that actually works.
I started Confident Pup because I wanted to cut through the noise. I’m not a vet or a trainer — just a committed dog owner who’s spent a lot of time researching, testing, and figuring out what actually helps anxious dogs feel more calm and secure at home. My goal is simple: to share what works, skip the fluff, and help you build a calmer, happier life with your pup.
Whether you’re brand new to managing anxiety or just looking for fresh ideas, I hope this guide helps bring more peace into your home — for both of you.
