March 2025 - Elway

Elway is a 9 year old female beagle mix. Her family has been using our service since 2017. Elway attends dog daycare, boarding, at home dog walking, training classes and workshops.

Words to live by: "Treats, belly rubs, and more treats!"

Favorite thing about our team? Every time we walk into daycare, the staff are excited to see "Miss Elway." It's nice to know that she's treated with such love when she's away from home.

Favorite dog friend? Buddy

Quirk? Elway likes consistency, so she's been known to growl at landscaping features and furniture if it is new or has been moved. She'll also let out a dramatic howl if she's not fed dinner at 7pm on the dot.

If she could talk, what would she say? "I love sitting next to the daycare attendants and watching the other dogs (when I'm not napping, of course -- a girl needs her beauty sleep). If FGMN ever needs a new daycare staffer, I'm ready to lead the pack."

Why did you choose our service? When I got Elway, I wanted to do basic dog training since I hadn't had a dog since I was a child. In the research that I did, all signs pointed to FGMN having the best training classes in Arlington. So we signed up, and it was such a great experience that we kept adding more services like daycare, boarding, and walking. Pretty quickly FGMN became our go-to resource for all of our dog needs.

Anything else you would like to share? If you or your dog has ever dropped a treat at FGMN, rest assured that Elway found and ate it very quickly, so it did not go to waste. She does a methodical sweep of the floor when she enters and exits the building.

February 2025 - Camellia

Camellia is a female lab/terrier mix who turns 1 year old this month! Her family has been using our service since 2014. Camellia attends dog daycare, enrichment school, boarding, puppy/senior walks, pet sitting, overnights, puppy & tween socials, training classes and workshops.

Words to live by: "I love learning and I’m ready to go to school NOW! Also, chicken please! "

Favorite thing about our team? I love playing with all my amazing [care takers] at daycare, boarding and enrichment school! I always have fun at training and puppy/tween socials with Juliet, Malia and Megan! I also love when Mr. Bob, Mr. Winthrop and Ms. Lisa can care for me at home when my regular humans are away.

Favorite dog friend? Hudson

Quirk? I love to steal slippers off your feet and napkins off of laps, and run away, haha! :) Sometimes my ears go inside out, and I love crossing my paws like a little lady!

If she could talk, what would she say? "I LOVE school and I am the BEST student! I always get so excited when my car makes the turn into the parking lot and I understand where I am! I’m trying hard not to jump but I have to jump for joy! "

Why did you choose our service? "FGMN takes the best care of dogs and we love the variety of daycare, boarding, in home care and training options available!"

Anything else you would like to share? We chose FGMN ten years ago to care for our precious dog Douglas, which was the best decision as the wonderful staff took the best care of him including saving his life while we were out of the country! It was an easy decision to continue with FGMN to care for our new puppy and are so proud of how much she has learned and grown in almost one year!
