Reviews & Testimonials ✨
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 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 pages.

"We need more trainers like Carlos! 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!!"

"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!"

"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!!!"
- Athen P.

"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!"
- Monica H.

"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 :)"

"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!"

"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! :)"

"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! 🙌🏻🤗"

"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.
"Carlos is a dog whisperer - he has a deep understanding of dogs and quickly connects with them. His teaching approach is flexible, inclusive, patient and effective. He has helped our German Shepherds become more relaxed, obedient and playful!"
- Joan Parker
"We have a previously abused rescue, and Carlos was great with giving us the tools to ensure a more healthy relationship with our dog. He's really taught us how to read our dog properly, and how to look for signs of anxiety. Carlos is great at listening to our concerns and tailors his lessons to ensure the owners can improve at their own comfortable pace."
- Devlin Chan
"Our brand new puppy Snickers is the cutest and sweetest Bernedoodle pup possible. But my two little girls (6 and 8) were still a quite freaked out to have a dog in our house. They loved Snickers but wouldn't come into the room for fear of Snickers getting excited and jumping up on them. Carlos was amazing with my girls - we left him to work with them directly and at the end of two hours, our eight year old went from standing on a chair in the dogs presence to playing tag and chasing Snickers around the yard and having her take treats out of her hands.."
- Michelle Gorman
"Carlos really helped us learn more about our adolescent puppies needs and brought a lot of solutions to some issues we were having. Our puppy is happy and so are we. Great service and the at home visits are very convenient."
-Gina Holgate
"My daughter and I got an 8-week old chihuahua. Super cute, also super intelligent. Between many adds, I found Carlos and his company and decided to go with him. Best decision ever made!! He really doesn't train dogs, he trains people....lol. And really, how can you train an animal if you don't understand him/her. Carlos spent half a day with us, and I can now eat my food on the couch, where ever, without Beia crawling over me, while I'm trying to eat my food. He was really amazing, we will definitely do a follow up session when she is 12 weeks. Money well spent, we loved it. Thank you, Carlos!!!!!!"
-Jana Rodriguez
"Carlos spent an evening at our house to help us with Zoey and we did many brain games with her as he suggested there was more needed then us physically tiring her out....a happy puppy/dog is a happy puppy, which we hadn't thought of. We immediately go into a routine with Zoey of making her work for her food often (smaller meals) and this helped amazingly satisfy her so she is more settled being alone (and food in her belly). Carlos suggested a couple of brain games that would help us, and even a couple days later he sent us a treat rug for Zoey that makes her sniff out her food..and she loves it. It was the help we needed when she was so little and now we had more direction and focus as new puppy owners. Thank you, Carlos!!!"
- Madison Garvie
"My puppy Theodore likes to jump up on people. Carlos came in and immediately started working. As soon as he sat down Theo started to jump on him but continued speaking to me as if he wasn’t there. I then saw Theo sit in front of him quietly and patiently (something that doesn’t usually happen), it was then that Carlos rewarded him by inviting him into his space. I was truly surprised. He helped me to teach Theo to follow me when walking instead of him pulling on his leash and leading. I’m happy to say Theodore is now walking next to me and getting a lot of exercise, both physically and mentally. Thank You again Carlos."
-Liz Forde
"..my partner and I got in touch with Carlos to help us help Khali and we were very pleased with our experience. Carlos was on time, friendly and very positive! He helped us understand how to better respond to Khali's fears and what would mostly help her get all her energy out! We got Khali a backpack as Carlos recommended and we see a significant difference with her sleeping patterns and weariness.."
- Sarah Taluy
"After having worked with many different trainers.. I met Carlos from Pawblems Made Easy. I can say with absolute certainty that he is the best dog behaviorist around! He put so much time, dedication and patience into helping my dog - way more than was expected. I honestly can't thank him enough and happily recommend him to anyone who is having any sort of issue with their dog."
