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. Also each play yard has a kiddy pool for the dogs to play in. - the staff are actual dog trainers. They were all friendly and helpful. Each dog learns "door manners" as part of their protocol. -Air conditioned kennels are nice for "nap time". - all the d... read more

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. All the staff are dog trainers and well versed in dealing with dogs from all backgrounds and of different personalities. They put dogs in play groups based on their play style and size (and if they like each other). You go for an evaluation day where they get to know you and your dog and how to meet your needs. They even have someone who loves there if ... read more

Recently, Wiley stayed with them for Memorial Day weekend and unfortunately became ill with a stomach virus. When it appeared that it might be more serious, their staff took him to an emergency vet in the middle of the night and ended up staying with him for over 2 hours. 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 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!
