So what if we pamper our pooches with memory foam dog beds? And what's the big deal about only feeding our dogs organic treats? Some may find our behavior to be over-the-top, but on Valentine's Day we all go the extra mile to show our loved ones how much we care. What better time to let Fido or Fluffy know how much we appreciate their unconditional love? And for the single dog owner, there's no better wingman (or wingstress) than our four-legged friends.

The premise of the Extreme Mustang Makeover is to pair never-before-trained horses with professional trainers for 100 days to prepare them for competition and adoption. In 2009, they added the Extreme Mutt makeover which paired 10 local animal shelter dogs with 10 trainers for six weeks and culminated in a day-long competition. Last year, the number went up to 15 dogs. Again this year, the Extreme Mutt Makeover includes 15 trainers, 16 dogs (15 competitors and 1 alternate), and eight weeks to prepare for a two-day competition at Will Rogers Memorial Complex in Fort Worth on September 16 and 17, 2011.
