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.

This place is awesome! My dog loves it and I love its because my dog gets home tired. Staff is great and I will recommend it to anyone looking for someone to take care of there best friend. Buddy and I thank you !
I was very impressed with the staff & the training. All good things to say. Super clean, very professional staff & knowledgeable. I would highly recommend you using them. My 5 mos. old lab puppy returned after 2 weeks of training..... a complete different puppy. I feel so confident with the "after training" support. A "shout out" to Viri Cereceres!
We left our pups at Taurus for a long weekend and they loved it. From the "tryout" day to the real deal overnight boarding, the entire experience was pleasant. The facility is clean, the staff is nice, and they even give your dogs a report card that highlights their performances. We will use Taurus again as needed. Nice people, great facility, good central location (off Burnet, or many other locations in Austin), and they treat your pups like royalty. Highly recommend.
With my living arrangements and lack of neighborhood dog parks, plus the Texas heat and having to work I decided that I wanted my pup, Casanova, to have some extra play time. After much research, amazing reviews, a recommendation friend/neighbor, and a wonderful orientation I decided on Taurus Academy on Burnet. My Momma's boy of a puppy had no problem there (he normally cries when I leave) played all day, I got a review of his activities and icing on the cake a unexpected package (with a souvenir from his great visit) in ... read more
I adopted a dog from the shelter with...issues. Thankfully Taurus had just opened in my hood! I had heard great things about this place but I have to say my expectations were exceeded. Jeff, Rachel, Viri and the rest of the "pack" are literally the nicest people I have ever met. Cooper and both fell in love. No hesitation in giving this place 5 stars.
Our dog, Ruby, spent the weekend at Taurus while we were out of town. After arriving she got sick (caused by the heart worm medicine we gave her the day before). The staff at Taurus burnet road location went above and beyond to make sure our dog was safe, well cared for and comfortable. They took her to a vet out of concern and stayed in constant communication with us during our trip. Additionally they were kind and patient - never acted like this was a burden. She was treated as if she were their own dog and bc of that we a... read more
Not sure how this place has 4 stars with their deceptive practices. 1. They gave my puppy the WORST first cut. It is uneven, choppy and obviously done with clippers. The stylist got everything wrong and looks like she was still in training by the looks of my dog. 2. They lied and said I was getting half back. They only gave me 40$ I will be disputing all charges due to the horrible job done and deceptive practices. If you cherish your puppy's hair please avoid trusting this establishment . You guys should be ASHAMED for ... read more
Despite the high ratings for Taurus Academy, our experience was significantly disappointing, marked by two concerning incidents. Initially, our attempt to secure a Christmas boarding reservation was mishandled, causing unnecessary stress. More alarmingly, shortly after our dog received a nail trimming during a subsequent stay, we received a call that our dog had a severely twisted and bleeding nail requiring an immediate emergency veterinary visit and its eventual surgical removal. While the direct cause of the injury remain... read more
Taurus, a place where canine comfort goes to wither away... My poor pup was confined for far too long, and the management's attitude left much to be desired. The facilities, alas, were in a state of disarray - the dog baths, in particular, were in dire need of a good scrubbing! All in all, I fear I shall have to take my furry friend's business (and affection) elsewhere. A pity, really, for Taurus had such promise...
