TNT Dog Center - Midland, Michigan

TnT does not have an actual barrier between their two turfs and thinks the proper way to “correct” a herding dog’s natural instincts is to throw a cone at them. My dog already has reactivity and trauma. Rather than politely asking that we stop taking classes (which I would have understood and obliged without leaving a negative review) they traumatized my dog further. I have been a loyal member for many years but will never step foot in their facilities after the way my dog was treated tonight.

We've been training and trialing in scent and agility at TNT since almost 2 years. It's a beautiful facility that has a lot to offer. Large parking lot, several fenced in areas for the dogs to run off leash, poop bags are provided, huge indoor crating area and a beautiful turf. Trials are fun and laidback no matter if it's a scent or an agility trial. The owner of TNT has always been friendly to me and her employees are helpful and nice. All of the agility coaches do an amazing job! We love TNT and feel very lucky to have a place like that under an hour drive.

We come here from 2 1/2 hours away for Scent Work Trials with our boxer and brittanys. Honestly, this place is our top choice to trials~ crating inside, any jackpot reward can be used (within reason of course) , everyone is wonderful and approachable . Its just a great location !

Went to my first TNT agility trial experience in Nov of 2022. I was shocked at the lovely facility and everything offered to the competitors. This place still feeds all workers(free) and competitors (donations). I was shocked at how many of the competitors wanted to just take advantage without lifting a finger. Other facilities don't do this!! Appreciate what you've got. I'll be back!

TNT is a first class training center for you and your dog. I have been taking my dog there for 5 years for enrichment and socialization.
The facility consists of 5 different training spaces, including basic puppy and obedience space, two full sized agility rings, a practice agility ring, a full sized indoor pool for Dock Diving, and a large area for scent work training along side the pool.
I've found all the trainer's to be knowledgeable and personable, assisting owners in learning how to train their dogs.
The facility hosts different competitions several times a month in all of the dogs sports mentioned.

If you want to enjoy something at TNT Dog Center, I'd look for a different facility. I sent them an email on Tuesday about renting the indoor dock diving pool and never heard back from them. One of my friends and I went to their agility competition on Sunday with plans to just rent out the dock in person, and when we finally found a TNT employee her only response was "Well you need to email them" and when we told her we had, she shrugged her shoulders and basically said tough luck - and that they only rent on Saturday mornings, not Sunday. Which could have been a perfect response to the email I sent. Not to be picky or rude, but the courteous thing to do would have been to let us rent the dock that day and promise to work on responses to customers.

One of my dog friends emailed them a year ago and still hasn't heard back from them. Another one of my dog friends called them multiple times and never got an employee.

This facility in unprofessional and disrespectful towards potential clients. I would not recommend them, in good conscious, to anyone that actually wants a business that acts as a business interested in having satisfied customers. It feels like they are so arrogant as a business that they disregard the need for communication entirely.

Good instructor's! We are very happy with our puppy's behavior after attending their puppy class. We know we have to continue working with our pup and are thankful for all their assistance. I would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a well behaved dog.

Original Review (see updates):
Great people. Excellent facilities and trainers.

Edit:
2021: Still amazing.
2022: Has grown its scent work training and trial offerings.
2022: They fire most of their great trainers for stupid reasons and then blacklist them from other training clubs. They have completely lost my support.
