I'm so grateful for the pups, the families and pet parents I get to work with!

The kind words they share about their Pawblems Made Easy  and Lil'o's Club dog training experience means the world to me and I love showcasing those reviews and testimonials on here. They've all shown endless amounts of dedication, love, and guidance toward their dogs. All of which is helping them get closer and closer to their dog training goals.

All reviews are originally from our Google listings (Pawblems Made Easy and Lil'o's Club) and Facebook page.

"Carlos is a dog trainer unlike any other. He is very patient, he is attentive and most of all he really cares about our fur babies. The positive environment and the enrichment experience that he gives our pups are what make him very special. The play sessions really help us a lot in expending excess energy that our Penny seems to have lots of. Her socialization skills have greatly improved in the past months. We will keep bringing Penny to see Carlos and her little friends for as long as she enjoys them." - Roselle R.

"We had been longing for an indoor dog park for the days that our temperature-sensitive Italian greyhound puppy gets too cold to play outside. I found out about the indoor play sessions, and she absolutely loved it. There were tons of little dogs around her size and there was a lot of space to zoom around inside. Everyone was super friendly, and the coordinators themselves were very kind and remembered her name after just once learning it. I felt they really cared about her and the other dogs. They also had agility equipment to play with. We will be back!" - Bailey C.

"EXCELLENT service to solve all your PAWblems! I can't say enough about working with Carlos! He is a wealth of knowledge while being kind, respectful and warm. Above all, he tackled our puppy pawblems with gentleness and ease. Carlos set us off on the right track with our 12 week old Australian Labradoodle. He followed up with us multiple times and made it clear that he is happy to always be a source of support and knowledge. I'm definitely keeping Carlos on speed dial! Book a session with Carlos - you won't regret it!" - Carmela B.

"We are so happy to have discovered Lil’o’s a few months ago. The small dog play sessions are the highlight of our week! Carlos has created a fun and safe environment for our “littles” as he likes to call them 😊 We highly recommend this place." - Deleo D.

"Can’t say enough good things about Lilo’s Club! Their group play sessions have been so good for my puppy. Since joining Lilo’s club, our dog has gained so much more confidence when socializing with other dogs. It’s the best part of his week, as he looks forward to going to every session. This isn’t just a play session, Carlos and Angela create a community where everyone is welcome." - Matt Q.

"We are so happy to have found Carlos! We have been struggling with our sweet Yorkie-poo for some time with behavioural issues. We invited Carlos into our home for a very informative 1.5 hour session. He was able to make an assessment through some questions and observations. He cleared up our confusion as to why we were seeing some of these behaviours and he put us to work right away with some suggestions and guidance. We have seen improvement after the one visit. Carlos recommended some next steps including some 1:1 work with himself and some other dogs. Our dog has had one drop off session and again we are seeing improvement. Carlos is very kind, calm and gentle - we love his approach. He has earned our trust and our dogs which as anyone with a pet knows, they are family and you want others to love them and care for them as much as you do. We will continue to work with Carlos to help our little guy and highly recommend him to anyone." - Andrea L.

"We were overwhelmed trying to figure out how to handle a new puppy and an older dog. Carlos was patient, kind and non-judgmental. He took the time to explain his approach fully, demonstrated the skill and then guided us when we tried. It is clear that he adores dogs and his knowledge is outstanding. After the session he shared resources and next steps. We are also welcome to message with him for further support. . After only 1.5 hours, we feel like we have a clear plan to fully enjoy our dogs without feeling overwhelmed. We no longer feel like we at “in above our heads”. We highly recommend his company and look forward to taking advantage of other services he offers. Jason and Gillian Caron" "Gillian C."

"UPDATE ON MY ORIGINAL REVIEW: I would give Carlos 10 stars if I could. I recently invited a senior pup (Buddy - 13 yrs) to stay with us for a few weeks while his pup-parents went on vacation overseas. My pup (Caramella - 2 yrs) was aggressively trying to get him to play with her, and it was creating a pretty stressful environment for them both. I invited Carlos to come over and give us some guidance on how to best navigate their interactions, and boy, am I so happy we thought of him! After just one session with coaching and examples, we have some effective techniques to navigate their vastly different energy levels, and are at least enjoying a nap long while I work in my office (see newly added photo). Original Review: I have nothing but great things to say about Lil'o's Club and Carlos. I am a first time dog owner, with all the tendencies and desires to give my puppy everything she wants, while knowing very well that isn't good for her in the long run - but didn't know how to go about putting positive reinforcement in practice for some of the tougher things in training. Carlos is a dog lover at heart, and you can see how his knowledge, experience, and true caring for the well-being of his 'students' drives everything he does. He creates an environment where Puppy Play Sessions are safe and educational, guiding good behaviours while letting our pups have fun; he gently reminds us pet parents what undesirable behaviours we are inadvertently reinforcing, and helps us encourage our pups to make "good choices". Caramella is always happy to see Carlos and gets excited as we drive to her play sessions (she knows the way now), but more importantly, she is growing to be even more wonderful as a puppy companion, and I am becoming a better guardian and roommate to her as a result of our time at Lil'o's. Thank you for all the great guidance and wonderful opportunities to meet other sweet doggies at Lil'o's!" - Christina P.

"What a great company tailored just for small dogs. We are lucky to have Lil'o's services in our community. The socials feel very safe and monitored and all the little dogs are friendly. Safe socialization of small dogs is so important! The tips shared on facebook, email and in person at play sessions are so helpful and cover everyday pet worried we have. Thank you!" - Janice C.

"Carlos was great from the moment he came to our house and until the moment he left! We requested his help for our German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois mix, as we were lacking the tools to help further his training. He was very knowledgeable about our breed of dog and attentive to all our questions and concerns throughout the session. He gave great advice and training tips to help address all the things we wanted to help our dog achieve. He went above and beyond to send us helpful articles and a follow-up email to go over everything that we spoke about during our session. We highly recommend Carlos and so does our dog, Echo!" - Peyton F.

"My little guy (6 pound, Yorkie) has been seeing Carlos consistently since June! He’s always looking forward to spending time with him and even cries on the way when he realizes we’re near Carlos’ house! The bond they built has been amazing and helps me build the bond with my lil one at home! He’s honestly progressed so much since June andy only regret was not finding Carlos sooner😭 It makes me so happy and our walks are much more enjoyable And hes definitely getting more social with all the little ones Carlos introduces him to. He was so shy and didnt know what to do with other dogs around but now he’s being more curious and runs around a little more with them! 10000000% recommend Carlos! 🙏🏼" - Cade N.

"Amazingly knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about their work, really understood our dog’s problems and helped us with towards them. We saw amazing results, can’t recommend enough!" - Shivom Sharman
