"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!" - Rebekka C.

"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

"Peanut and I absolutely love this company! Peanut is a 5pound chihuahua and is usually afraid of big dogs. Their dedicated play sessions for little dogs (5-15 pounds) provides a safe and welcoming environment for him to socialize and have fun. The atmosphere is amazing and it’s clear they genuinely care about all the pets that come. I also appreciate that they have occasional markets that feature small vendors, it’s a great way to help out local small businesses and to discover cool new stuff for your pet! They also have cute puzzle rentals that are such a creative way to keep your dog mentally stimulated. Highly recommend for small dog owners!!" - Ashley P.

"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 :)" - Caysie 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." - 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.

"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.

"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! 🙏🏼" - Cade N.

"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.

"We first met Carlos back in Oct 2022, where Mocha had his first private session. There were so many things we wanted to work on, and Carlos was able to address them all. It all came down to an important tip, which was ‘to provide Mocha with a good balance of physical and mental enrichment, as well as his need to socialize’. He recommended us to join Lil’o’s Club as a way to better socialize Mocha. Since then Mocha has joined Lil’o’s Club which has been an amazing opportunity for him to socialize. Mocha was a shy and nervous pup who would initially sit in the corner or in our laps, circling the perimeters of the room to say hi to pup parents, often not wanting to interact with other pups. However, after attending several play session, he has started to initiate play and would do a few play bows. Mocha has improved so much over the past 7 months and it is all thanks to the constant support of Carlos! Carlos is patient and informative. So happy to have come across him! Thank you again for all your help! :)" - Erica Ha

"My puppy Lola and I have been a part of LILO’s club since summer 2022 and it has been a saving grace for me as a first time dog owner. Carlos and Angela are so knowledgable and experienced on how to tackle unwanted behaviour, encourage the behaviour we want to see in our furry friends, as well as encouraging socialization and mental enrichment through their puppy play sessions. They also offer drop off training sessions, which are so helpful especially for first time dog owners. Lola and I attend puppy play sessions at least once a week and not only is it great for her to be able to socialize with other dogs, it has been so helpful in the winter months when there have been many days I haven’t been able to get her outside. If you haven’t joined Lilos club yet, HURRY and join them now! It is the absolute BEST place, run by the most amazing people!" - Kayleigh K.

"I highly recommend Lil’o’s Club for dogs of all ages, but especially for young pups to support their socializing needs in a safe and supervised environment! Carlos is very knowledgeable about evidence-based dog behaviour and is there to help guide appropriate play all dogs during Lil’o’s Club supervised play sessions - my dog and myself loved attending these play sessions, I only wish we had something like Lil’o’s Club when my dog was a puppy himself!" - Jennifer G.

"We had a fun, educational experience on our first playtime session with Lil’o’s Team. Carlos & his team were guiding Coco while she walks around the play area and familiarizing herself with other small dogs like her. We thought that Coco just randomly barks because she gets easily mad at everything or everyone, but we learned from Carlos that Coco is a shy dog & that she still gets overwhelmed with everything she sees that are new to her, items, the people or other dogs around her. Carlos is great in explaining & sites best examples that helped us (mom & dad) understand Coco better. Just on our first training session, he made us realize how me & my husband need to be trained more than Coco. Hahaha! We learned better ways on how to handle & care for our baby Coco & prevent her from barking a lot. Carlos is friendly, prompt, gentle with the dogs and his training techniques have been very effective (training for both humans & dogs) 😁. They also have a user-friendly website that’s simple to use for scheduling sessions, informative videos & training tips to watch & read too! I’m glad we were introduced to Lil’o’s Club and would highly recommend to loving pet parents like us who have no idea what to do and need guidance on how to train their pet babies! Thank you Carlos and team Lil’o’s! 🙌🏻🤗" - Camille E.

"I had an incredible experience with this dog trainer! Carlos expertly addressed my dog's behavior issues and tailored the training to fit my dog's unique personality. Carlos's positive reinforcement techniques worked wonders, and I was amazed at the progress my dog made. The trainer's professionalism and dedication were top-notch. I now have a stronger bond with my dog, all thanks to this fantastic trainer. Highly recommend!" - Amreet J.

"Carlos is very patient in answering all our dog/training questions and concerns. As a first-time pet parent, I find his reassurance and encouragement helpful. I see a positive difference in our dog every time she returns from a stay with him. He sends along short video clips and photos of their time together. They put us at ease knowing that our dog is having fun and in good care. In some cases, the videos demonstrate us what to do/how to train her more effectively. She comes back tired, happy, and better behaved! I'm very happy to have found Carlos. Highly recommend!" - Nia M.
