While the facility looks a little worn and dated, the way that they run their programs is great. They separate dogs into groups that play well together, taking the stress and anxiety off of me so that I know that my little puppy will have a positive play experience. Also, for overnight boarding they have a 'puppy protocol' (I've been told) where they can take puppies out of their kennels more often and during the nights so that they do not learn to mess in their kennels. This is a huge positive for me. I've been up multiple ... read more

We love Taurus Academy Day Camp!! Higgins loves going to see the staff at Taurus on McNeil (mostly because they call him handsome and play with his ears). We trust them and will definitely look into training and boot camp when Higgins is a little older. Wonderful place!

We have been using Taurus for just over a decade. Some people write reviews after a good/bad cup of coffee or great/terrible service at a restaurant or hotel. I'm going to be short a sweet here. Taurus on Metric has been our dog'a second home for over 10 years. Our dog, Truman, was our first child, before we had children. We have entrusted his care with the outstanding women and men at Taurus for many years, and they have helped to raise a loving, wonderful dog. I actually am somewhat surprised that I haven't reviewed Taur... read more

My dog has been going here for three years now and still loves it!! He even went to their 2 week boot camp and came back a different dog! He is so well behaved now and he is also over his separation anxiety. I will always love the trainers there for that! I also like that they group the dogs by size for play groups and make them take naps/time outs from playing so that the dogs do not over do it and possibly hurt themselves. Which is very important during the summer. And the dogs are always supervised while in the play are... read more

My dog is not great around new people, but everyone at Taurus is incredibly accomodating and knows exactly how to approach, handle, and play with her appropriately. They know my dog Mia as well as I do! She has made tremendous improvement with socialization since going to Taurus for weekly Play Days and she always has a good time when she is boarded. The only time Mia pulls on the leash is to walk into Taurus! I love all the staff and am so grateful to have found such a safe-haven for my pup.

Taurus is a 'home grown' Austin company. Their intention is to impact our community by providing excellent care for the dogs in their facilities, improving their behavior, as well as keeping them happy and safe. Their focus in behavior creates a community of polite, socialized dogs and educated owners that benefits all of Austin. My dog, Oskar is one happy boy at Taurus dog training & play day! - I was so happy to find Taurus @ Metric is a great, safe, clean & fun place for him to play during the day while I'm at work. I bel... read more

I had a couple misunderstandings when I had my initial first visit for my pet, but at the end of her play day when it was time for me to pick her up I was so relieved. The ladies at the front were very welcoming and sweet. They sat me down to discuss everything that was involved with my pet's play day and answered all my questions. Afterwards they gave me a tour of the facility. It seemed a little small but for having to share a building with the vet clinic next door, what can you expect! My dog was so quiet the rest of the ... read more

I recently rescued a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, who was being surrendered because of a family situation and partly because she didn't get along with the temporary family's dogs. I knew coming into this, it was going to be a challenge introducing her to my adult Cocker Spaniel. So - of course I do the introductions completely wrong (I had not planned on bringing a new dog home - it was a right place at the right time situation and I ended up with a new dog), the Cavalier attacked the Cocker and I'm thinking, "what have ... read more

WE have taken our doggie to Tuarus on Lamar and Metric and we are so thrilled with the consistent service both locations provide. They take wonderful care of our sweet rescue, and are always happy to have her. The staff is very friendly, they love their dogs, and it shows. The staff is highly trained and this benefits you as your pup is playing all day. Consistency is KEY with our mutts and Taurus staff know this. We now have a very-well socialized doggie at age 2 who we can take anywhere, and that is largely because she ent... read more
