The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is known as being one of the most prestigious dog shows in the world.

Those who bear witness to the event will say “aww” in adoration, laugh at their puzzling new hair-dos, or be amazed at how skillful they can be.

Behind the scenes, the dogs are getting conditioned, hair-sprayed, and groomed. Some are panting away on doggy treadmills!

You can catch these canines on the USA Network from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday. On Tuesday, USA will broadcast the rest from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.
