nutritionally.  6 months ago Lucy was 54 pounds and a complete mess.  Now she is over 70 pounds
and a happy, beautiful girl.  Penny's knowledge of dog behavior and nutrition has given us a simple
plan that has produced wonderful results.  Lucy is socializing with other dogs and is much more
confident and content.  We also have been so pleased with Penny's in-home boarding.  Our girls
are so comfortable that they don't want to come home.  We know they have a great time while
receiving the best care and attention.

Penny I wanted to thank you so much for your work with Hope during the 5 days she was with
you. The changes in her attitude have been remarkable...I can't believe the difference. For the
first time in two years she went quietly down the stairs in the morning instead of the high pitched
whining and running down the stairs to chase a cat. She will actually stay where she is when I
leave the room, instead of scrambling to follow me. She will let me hold and pet the cats without
whining on a regular basis... so much better than before. I walked her at the park the week she
came home and we passed three dogs without her barking at them...again a big improvement
from previous walks. I plan on bringing her to you regularly for doggie daycare to continue with
these wonderful changes. I can't thank you enough!

Sophie just spent two weeks with Aunt Penny.  Honestly, Penny sent little notes to let my
husband and I know how our little girl was, which were greatly appreciated and hysterical.  The
setting at Desperate Dogs is without question, an environment in which every dog should be so
lucky to encounter when there family goes on vacation.  I picked our girl up last night, and as
Aunt Penny said she would be tired, but appears to be glad to be home.
We will take Sophie back for doggie day care, as I think running and playing on the acreage, and
having friends to play with, and of course Aunt Penny, will be good for our dog who has endless
energy. I could tell when I picked Sophie up, what a marvelous bond she and Penny had
developed.  It was one of those moments that touched your heart.
I highly recommend Desperate Dogs, and the amazing Penny Miller.
Sophie agrees!



Sharon -Placement Chair, Gwinnett Humane Society
Hi Penny
I wanted to update you on a few of the dogs you have worked with in our program. Our goal at
Gwinnett Humane Society is always to match our adoptable dogs with the forever home best
suited to their needs and personalities. We had a tough time understanding the needs of some of
these dogs and could not have been successful in finding their 'perfect fit' without you. Thank
you for all you do for our dogs!
Dolly, now Molly, the little maltese mix, has blossomed in her new home. She was fearful of
everyone and could not even attend adoption fairs. Dolly had lived in foster care for nearly a
year. You gave us a simple plan to work on. One that required not hours but minutes of our time
throughout the day and before long a frightened, nervous dog was becoming a confident, happy
dog. We are fortunate to see Dolly often and she continues to thrive in what we all know is her
forever home.
Dixon, the terrier mix, was guarding food and toys and was very hyperactive. Your plan for him
started with food...the right food! Changing his diet made a tremendous difference and has
changed the way we think about food for all of the dogs in our homes. Your nutritional approach
to modifying behavior is a  real eye opener! Dixon has adjusted very well to his new home and his
change in diet. Implementing the training tips and 'games' you suggested, his forever family
reports that he is happy and well adjusted!
Nixon, the cocker, came to us very frightened and insecure. He had been shuffled around quite a
bit in the years before coming to us and was desperately anxious about being separated from his
new found foster mom. We followed your suggestions and worked with him on confidence
building games and exercises.  We all love that your games and exercise plans take our busy
schedules  into consideration. The games we played with Nixon wore him out in far less time than
we could have imagined. Nixon's new family was able to continue those same games with him
allowing him to feel successful right away in his new environment. Nixon is doing great and in the
words of his new mom is 'a keeper'!
Penny, thank you for all your help. Not only are our adoptable dogs in a better place because of
your efforts but everyone here who has had the pleasure of working with you is a better dog
owner for that experience. We strive to pay it forward by taking these lessons and continuing to
rescue and successfully rehome dogs.
Thanks for everything!

Our Weimaraner truly was a desperate dog when we
met Penny Miller.  She was a nervous wreck and was
sick every day.  We started working along with
Penny, making adjustments behaviorally and
