The daily schedule at Fur-Get Me Not almost sounds more like a preschool than a dog boarding facility: It includes free playtime, activity sessions, lunch, potty breaks and rest times. Dogs and their owners love it, which is why the canine-centered day care, boarding and training facility is now celebrating its 23rd year in business. Fur-Get Me Not recently underwent a huge remodel to double the size of its multibuilding facility. “I think one of the standouts is that we really treat each dog as an individual,” says owner Tammy Rosen, who got her start as a dog trainer. Her latest innovation is an “enrichment school,” complete with dog training and nature walks on Arlington trails. –Adele Chapin
