About Us — From Albuquerque, With Dogs
Hi, we’re Lucas & Mickael, brothers and co-founders of The Calm Dog Method.
Back in 2021, after years working with dogs and raising several of our own, we saw a common problem:
Most dog owners were overwhelmed — not because they didn’t care, but because they didn’t know how to train effectively.
Mickael is a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA, AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator), and together, we decided to create a simple, structured method that everyday owners could follow — even with zero experience.
We’re originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, where we now run our own small-scale kennel and training facility, working daily with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Our own pack includes a German Shepherd, a Border Collie mix, and two adopted rescues — each one with their own challenges, and their own victories.
The Calm Dog Method has now helped thousands of owners build better relationships with their dogs, using a kind, modern approach rooted in trust, not control.
Because calm isn’t something dogs are born with — it’s something we teach, together.
