About this business
About Us We've recently changed our name! In the video below, Melanie explains where we've come from, and why we're moving forward with Taurus Academy. Taurus is a “home grown” Austin company—literally! William and Melanie McLeroy started the business out of their East Austin home in 1994 and have been working with Austin-area dogs and their families for over twenty years. We provide excellent care for dogs while improving their behavior as well as keeping them happy and safe. We are interested in learning—of course about... read more

We love bringing our boy here for boarding when we're gone for a trip! Any of the Taurus locations are great, but Burnet has amazing service. I love that they offer grooming services too, we got a full groom added on and Alana did an amazing job with the haircut. The staff here is super communicative and my dog happily trots inside when we drop him off. It's a great peace of mind knowing he's well taken care of.
Business response:
Thank you so much for the kind words! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that Chiki loves his stays with us, and that our Burnet location is making such a positive impression. Alana will be so happy to hear you loved the grooming! He was an absolute pleasure to work with. We love knowing that you feel confident leaving him in our care, and we're always here to make sure he has a fantastic experience every time. Thanks for trusting us with your pup – we can't wait to see him again soon!
This is THE BEST PLACE IN AUSTIN to take your dogs for the day, for grooming, for training, even a long stay while your on vacation. I have been taking my Ruby there weekly since March, and I have never had a problem ever. Everyone is super-friendly, and I know I'm getting my money's worth when I see how happy and worn-out my dogs are after having fun all day. I can't ask for more. Don't be fooled by the few one star reviews; not everyone can have good taste. I have conversed with much of the staff including management, an... read more
Business response:
Thank you immensely for your glowing review, Jason. We are ecstatic to hear about your positive experiences with Taurus Academy, and we love knowing that Ruby enjoys her time with us and that you trust our staff with her care. We look forward to seeing y'all again real soon!
Literal tears. Biscotti has done a few "board and trains" at Taurus and we think it's a great value. The extra attention is honestly what we're paying for and being a better dog is just a bonus. The board and train comes with three "in home" visits after you do the boarding and we were most recently with trainer Loren. (Love her!) Well after our visit, our pup came down with IVDD (degenerative disease) which was emotionally devastating. Going from being a spry pup to not being able to use her hind legs overnight ... it'... read more

Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Dan. The qualities you described are the goals we strive to achieve for all of our clients. On behalf of the staff, thank you for trusting us with your pets' care for years!
Our Golden Doodle enjoys coming here, he is so well behaved after the training we have been doing.
Business response:
Thank you for your kind words, Veronica! Please give extra love to your pet from us.
We have a nervous/anxious poochie so going to drop off for boarding can be challenging. When we walked in to Taurus Ashley B immediately recognized our poochie with a warm welcome. We chatted about how our girl is a nervous one. Ashley let me know that she puts out girl with the older calmer dogs to make sure she has a pleasant play time. She also shared a trick she does to make sure our girl eats all of her food. It's very reassuring to know our poochie is in caring hands when we are leaving her overnight. I really apprecia... read more
They always do well with my two large dogs! The dogs come home exhausted after playing all day. It's great to be able to trust these folks.
Business response:
Thank you so much Annie for the positive review and feedback! We take pride in providing the best care and service and grateful for your trust.
Our rescue dog was very skittish and barked at everything, making walks difficult. We watched a ton of YouTube videos which all said mostly the same thing but we had a hard time applying the methods and getting them to work. We found several well-reviewed dog trainers but got sticker shock. We then found Taurus who sent out a trainer for a more than reasonable fee to show us what we were doing wrong in our application of the training. She was awesome. She showed us what to do on our own, and it's been a slow process (tw... read more

Thank you so much Michael! We really appreciate the review and feedback and so happy to hear that you are seeing progress. Thank you for choosing Taurus!
A huge thank you to Lindsey and the whole Burnet Road staff that jumped through hoops when my pup needed some extra care during a planned business trip. They put the care of my baby as well as the safety of all their other pups in top priority. They displayed a true kindness and affection for my pup and went above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you Burnet Rd pack!! You guys are the best!
We love taking our dogs here! Couldn't recommend this place enough. They take great care of our dogs and give them a great amount of attention.
Business response:
Thank you so much Ricky! We love our Shera aka She She and Tortoro aka Little T! :) Such great pups!!
