Desperate Dogs

Desperate Dogs is a luxury dog boarding hotel, canine adventure daycamp and a place where troubled dogs come to shake off some of the world's stresses....
Run by experienced canine behavior counsellor Penny Miller, her husband Peter and Ranch Manager Kristen Snyder, the dogs have the most incredible off leash experience to be had anywhere in the state of Georgia! There are 8.5 gorgeous acres of se

curely fenced meadows, woodlands, streams, a natural swim hole, a swimming pool, a huge covered barn for wet weather indoor/outdoor play.....the fun just never stops! For resting and sleep time, the Desperate Dogs Ranch experience is unlike anywhere else your dog has ever stayed. There are couches everywhere, carpeted rooms and soft, plush dog beds for your precious baby to sink into, enjoying the deepest of sleeps. Mealtimes are a major gastronomic event with fresh succulent meats and vegetables cooked daily and to each dogs' unique requirements by our 'doggy chefs' for our eager guests. DD is the perfect choice if your dog is thunder phobic; not only are our staff incredibly skilled with thunder phobia cases and have years of handling experience, the construction of the house, in sturdy 1960's block and brick with a buried basement, means that we have the perfect noise-muffling environment for the most thunder phobic dog. Our unique phased-integration and relationship-building protocols mean your dog will feel at home, comfortable and part of a new family in no time. Our whole ethos is to let a dog be a dog.....to explore, to breathe, to move freely and to exercise all of the natural drives that dogs have. This, coupled with all of the touches of home, create an atmosphere of relaxation and comfort that bring about a state of mind where learning can take place, social skills can be learned and stresses can be cast off. Dogs always return home calmer, happier and more able to cope with life at home....and they often sleep for three days straight! We use no shock collars, pinch collars, choke chains or any other torture techniques; we do not engage with clients who use such devices unless they throw them in our trash.....all of our work is relationship based, kind and gentle. Think of us as kindly aunts and uncles who love your dog as much as you do, and who will go to untold lengths to achieve his or her happiness. Pooch Paradise exists.......and its right here in Winder, Georgia.
