I will hands down forever recommend Shanti. We had scheduled a 2 week board and train at Taurus Metric. She had been so communicative during my dogs stay with messages, calls, pictures and videos. after the 2 week stay we had followups of anywhere of my choosing and my dog still continues to improve especially when Shanti has been there for us. Before our training our dog was very disobedient to our kids and was very leash reactive. Today my 4 year old can command her and we take walks without having her want to bark and growl at every person, car, bike, and other dogs. Also She was afraid of other dogs and now I can take her to dog parks and she will be mad at me when it is time to go home. My family and I thank you Shanti for best the best trainer for our Echo.

I and Sadie (1 yr old cocker) have had great experiences with these guys! I feel great about taking her there every week for a play day. Thanks Taurus!

Jackson is my 5 year old, 5 pound Toy Poodle. He has been staying at TAURUS on METRIC all of those years when we were not able to take him with us. When he hears the word Taurus and sees me reach for his "SAINTS BLANKIE" the excitement begins--That is the absolute only time Jackson gets to play with friends and he loves it--Taurus is allowed to let Jackson share his "room" during his stay--and the STAFF, oh my goodness, they go above and beyond the call of duty---I can't begin to share with you the experiences I have encounted with their professionalism and love for their pets---If I am going to be gone most of the day, rather than let Jackson stay home alone, I take him to TAURUS for PLAY DAY---he loves it --- he knows when he goes to TAURUS, I will ALWAYS be back for him and I'm sure that is a comfort and comfortable feeling for him---THANK YOU METRIC TAURUS for caring for my JACKSON---
