About Us

In June 2024, Southport Dog LLC opened its brick-and-mortar location, a dream that has been nurtured for decades. Led by Tommy, who has dedicated over forty years to handling, training, and owning dogs, our passion for training extends beyond mere profession. After a fulfilling 30-year career in law enforcement, Tommy found a renewed purpose in training dogs, leading to the establishment of Southport Dog.

At Southport Dog, we have shifted our focus from training police working dogs and rescue dogs to nurturing the bond between civilian owners and their beloved pets. Our training philosophy emphasizes obedience and enhancing the relationship between dogs and their families.

Tommy is supported by his family in this mission, with his daughter Christina taking on a significant role as one of the head trainers at our facility. Together, we strive to create a friendly and welcoming environment for all dog owners, offering a variety of training classes and fun activities in our dedicated dog parks. Our goal is to help every canine thrive and make the training experience enjoyable for both dogs and their owners.
