Specialties
Taurus is a ‘home grown’ Austin company. Our intention is to impact our community by providing excellent care for the dogs in our facilities, improving their behavior as well as keeping them happy and safe. Our focus in behavior creates a community of polite, socialized dogs and educated owners that benefits all of Austin. We also strive to help the households we serve become happier through our expertise and connection with our clients, both canine and human. We are interested in learning – of course about dogs, their care, behavior and training; and also about people, how to connect, teach, and learn from each other. We are successful because of an emphasis on education and business excellence, and intend to be a lasting presence in the communities we serve.
History
Established in 1994.
In 1994, William McLeroy used his extensive knowledge of gun dog training to start helping create happier households in the Austin area. One of his first clients, Melanie, soon became an apprentice and then a partner in what would become Taurus Training.
20 years later, William & Melanie have five locations in Austin that provide Training, Play Days and Training for thousands of Austin’s dogs and their families.
