My dog loves the one in lakeway off 620. And they seem to love her right back! Rosie always perks up when I drive by, and pouts when we don't stop!
My review of Taurus Academy on Burnet Rd : - the facilities were meticulously clean. No urine or feces seen and amazingly it didn't smell of dogs. - the multiple play yards are shaded and also had "doggie jungle-gyms", with stairs and ramps for the dogs to play on and under.

My dog has always had so much energy that I can't handle it when I get home tired and she wants a 10 mile run. So she goes to Taurus Academy. There are 5 locations in Austin.

They even have someone who loves there if ... read more
I have been taking my dog Wiley to the Metric location for almost 9 years and they have been fantastic the entire time.

I later found out that the staff person, Cassie, has two young children so middle of the night hours where she could be sleeping are defi... read more
We love Taurus. So many good people and great dogs!
We love this place! Our puppy, Riley, just finished a Board & Train session. We were amazed with what she has learned. Still can't believe it's the same puppy! Taurus has also helped our oldest dog, Juicy, learn how to correctly interact with other dogs. We couldn't be happier with everything they've learned!
