"I have recently started bringing my puppy Cosmo to Lil’o’s club and it has been great. We did some indoor group play sessions and now starting the drop off playtimes. Carlos has been very helpful educating me on ways to improve Cosmos confidence. He really is in tune with each dog he is with and helps build them visit by visit. Cant wait to bring him again. Highly recommend Lil’o’s Club!"

"Carlos and the whole team at Lil’o’s Club have been such a blessing for my boy Chuy 🥹 even though he is not yet at the end of his journey, he has come such a long way! We are so grateful for the time and energy spent on improving his social anxiety and walking skills and we're so excited to continue seeing him grow into the confident boy that he is! 💛
I definitely recommend Lil’o’s Club to any pawrents who are feeling overwhelmed and are looking for any support, training or just a new positive environment for their pup!
If I could give them more than 5 ⭐️ I would!"

"We need more trainers like Carlos! Carlos worked with my puppy, Ebi, for drop off socialization classes and my puppy loved every class! Carlos is super friendly and patient.
You can tell that he truly loves dogs and wants the very best for each one he works with. Before I started classes with Carlos, I was answering his fun Instagram dog training quizzes and ended up asking him some follow up questions. What really stood out to me was how open and responsive he was even before I signed up for classes. He was already giving me training advice and tips and I wasn’t even a client yet!
That left such an amazing first impression on me and I could tell that he was in dog training not for the money, but to really help support dogs and their owners. We travelled all the way from Richmond Hill to see Carlos, and it’s worth the drive! We noticed our puppy is so much better on walks now and more comfortable in outside environments. Carlos, if you ever decide to open something in Richmond Hill, you know Ebi and I will be first to book!!"

"Cannot recommend Carlos and his team enough, we met him when he was working with a different trainer, saddly said trainer had to close their location near us and we were struggling on finding the right program for our dog.
I found Lol'o's Club through instagram and realized it was Carlos and Nyx whom my dog had been very comfortable in the past. Our pup was considered a reactive dog, through lots of training and patience he's slowly getting better but still needs to work on calming himself down, we were so happy to find Carlos again and continue his training as he can easily explain what's going on through our dogs mind.
Carlos has been nothing but supportive, he gives you so much useful information and spends lots of time making sure you understand how to continue the training process, checks up on your progress and seems always excited to chat.
You can tell he and his team are very passionate about their job and that's just what you want in a trainer."

"Our 3 dogs love play sessions with Carlos! They come home happy and tired from all the playtime and enrichment Carlos provides! Our Pomeranian goes for training sessions as well and I have seen such a difference in him since day 1. Situations and places I've never thought he'd be behaved in.. he's great! I'm always impressed with every session. We appreciate all the feedback and videos Carlos sends us. We can't thank him enough for everything up until now. My whole family and I agree that we are so happy we found Lil O's!!!"

"Cannot give enough stars to Lilo’s Club. I came across the group on Instagram and I am so glad that I did. Not only has it helped our Sesame with her reactivity, but has provided a great community of other small dog owners. Both Sesame and I look forward to our play sessions and walks with the group. Carlos and team are beyond helpful and provide a safe space to correct behavioural issues without punishment. I’ve been struggling for some time to find a trainer that focuses on redirecting vs punishing. As well they offer a ton of items for rent or purchase such as treat puzzles and other enrichment ideas for your pup! If you have a small dog, pls check them out!"

"My dog loves going to this club, they are toys, balls, tunnels and other dogs to play with. The environment is safe for the dogs and their owners. Highly recommended the club!"
- Mariana M
"The best thing to happen to my dog, Linus! Lil’o’s Club provides regular play sessions in a fun and safe (indoor) space for little pups to run around off-leash and play. Carlos and crew always supervise each play session and offers training tips and advice. The club also offers private training sessions, enrichment plans, outdoor group walks/hikes, and other services that are super useful for dog parents.
Would highly recommend to any dog parent, but especially to dog parents with little dogs. I hope the club continues to grow because what they offer is truly unique. Everyone is always welcome at Lil’o’s :)"

"Dexter has had issues with social anxiety but Carlos and the group at Lilos Club have really done amazing to bring Dexter out of his shell! He can now play with the other pups in the neighbourhood and feel confident in himself! Thank you!"
- Catie
"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."

"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.
"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."

"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.
"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.
"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! 🙏🏼"

"Love Lilo's Club ❤️💖❤️
There’s truly no club like Lilo's Club! With regular play sessions and walks tailored for small dogs, my 5-month-old pup gets the perfect, safe environment to socialize and play with other dogs. Thanks to Carlos & team.
I highly recommend this club to anyone looking to help their dog make new friends and socialize. It’s a much better alternative to a typical dog park.
I also enjoy the group hikes with Lilo's crew, and my pup absolutely loves spending time with his furry buddies!" - Castle
"Ive been searching for a place for my dog to socialize and interact with other dogs his size and Im so glad I discovered Lilo’s club!! Its so easy to book play sessions and I feel safe with having my dog play with only dogs his size there! My dog gets out all his excess energy and has an amazing time! Highly recommend Lilos club!"
- Simrin S.
"Amazing place to bring you small dog to socialize. My dog Luna enjoys everything we go. The owner is amazing and very friendly."
- Sophia S.
"Carlos was very kind and non judgemental off the bat. He listened to my concerns and provided a lot of tips and tricks to help. After just an hour and a half of private training, I’ve already seen an improvement in my puppy. The training focused on strengthening my puppy’s decision making which inevitably corrected unwanted behaviours. I found this approach very effective as it focused on the positive behaviours which allowed my puppy to remain stress free yet engaged. Along with the training, my puppy loved Carlos so we will definitely be rebooking."

"I bring my chihuahua to Lilos club here and have been going weekly since October 2022. It’s the only service around Oakville/Missisauga/ Milton that offers specialized play sessions to dogs 1-10lb. The sessions have been key in helping Ava develop and socialize she has grown into a confident dog and is learning how to play from all her friends with guidance from Carlos. The play sessions are affordable, accessible, and Carlos the trainer gives great training tips, we have seen great improvements at home as well. During the play seasons the dogs also have acsess to swimming and agility equipment. These have been great for building Ava’s confidence. We love The LILOs club community and how much they care about Ava’s success. We have 3 dogs and have tried lots of training services and play classes over the years and this is the one we have stuck with and have seen the most benefits from. My other dogs (20-40lb) also LOVE the bigger dog sessions :)"

"My puppy loves coming to socialize with the other doggos. Sessions are well-supervised and informative and loving."
- Jane M.
"Carlos and Angela are amazing!!! They have a strong understanding of how to set each individual dog up for success!! They work hard to ensure every dog and every pet parent feels comfortable! Lil’o’s is amazing!! I would absolutely recommend to anyone!"
- Lauren I
"Carlos is amazing from the start! This is such a great place for little dogs. A much needed service that no one was else serving, a much needed place where little dogs can play and meet! My shy 5 lbs Morkie has a place where he can gain confidence along other little dogs!
There’s a lot of service they offer, and I look forward to trying them all at some point.
When I called Carlos in a panic when I got my second dog, he gave me much needed advice! Thank you!"

"We booked a private training session with Carlos. We recently adopted a rescue puppy named Lily and wanted to learn how to successfully train her and us.
We couldn’t be happier with our choice of Lil’o’s Club. Carlos is very engaging and really knows his stuff. As my husband says “he is really good”. We were so impressed, we have since booked a drop-off training session and a doggy play session."
- Cathy B
"The play sessions at Lilo’s club have been a great avenue for my cockapoo pup Ollie to play and socialize with other dogs. Ever since Ollie started going to these play sessions, I have seen great improvement in his demeanour and how he interacts with other dogs when we go walk in the park. Carlos and Angela have been great at supervising these sessions and at keeping the pups focused and entertained. They are also very accommodating when answering any questions you may have about your pup. I highly recommend Lilo’s club play sessions especially for new dog owners. They also have recall training sessions too is great!"
Benedict S.
"Carlos is an amazing trainer, very knowledgeable and friendly. He helped us understand our puppy's needs and showed us how to handle things to make sure our dog feels comfortable. He gave lots of tips and provided solutions based on our puppy's behavior. Would really recommend him.."
