What is a great jazz piece for guitar?
I’m in history class studying the 20’s and I need to present a cultural aspect. I plan to perform a jazz piece in guitar. Which is difficult task, I plan to have a backing track playing through docked speakers. What jazz piece is recommended to perform that’s heavy on a guitarist perspective. I have previous experience with jazz and can improv well

Nancy asks…
Has anyone had any success with a dog trainer or dog obedience classed in Denver?
Please don’t suggest a Petsmart or Petco type traning class. Thanks for your help!
admin answers:
I am all for positive reinforcement training. I agree with you on the Petsmart and Petco thing. This group looks like a something to check out. They have the qualifications and philosophy I look for.

Mary asks…
I’d like to get an American Staff or Pitbull cross but have a cat & small dog already?
Does anyone know if these dogs would be ok with my cat & dog. They’re best friends but they are pretty much the same size. A Pit or Staff would be bigger
admin answers:
I have an American Bulldog/pittbull cross who weighs 110 pounds. I also have a cat. The cat was here first and I got “Norman” as a 3 month old puppy. If you are interested in getting a “bully” breed you need to do some homework. These breeds are amazing and fun to work with, but you have to treat them as though they are potentially aggressive. In the wrong hands, these breeds are down right dangerous (hence the pitt bull bans going across the country, like Denver).
I absolutely love both the breeds and I think they make great family pets, but it will be very important to socialize your new dog with your current pets, other people’s pets, other people you know, and strangers. The more exposure, the better. These breeds have a tendency to be protective, and you wont be able to completely train this out of them. However, by socializing them and going to a puppy obediance class, they will be both loving and well behaved and you wont find yourself in a lawsuit because your dog bit someone.
I hope this helps 🙂
Sharon asks…
What do I do about my dog’s aggression? 2 yr old boxer/pit.?
He is a good dog when it is just my husband and I but if you throw other people (or dogs) in the mix he gets a little psycho. I also have a 6 month old boxer that he has actually nipped a few times..once causing minor bleeding. Every incident has been over a scrap of food, dog bone, etc. But most of the time the two dogs are fine together. It’s when dogs or people that he doesn’t know come around he goes nuts. There is nothing I can do to control him, he’s so strong I certainly can’t hold him back. When he gets to this point not even a filet mignon would distract him. Although he’s never bitten it scares me that he might. When children are around he has a completely different reaction. He barks and growls in a seriously aggressive way. I’m afraid he would attack a child. He also has recently began to destroy everything in the house which is the straw that has broken the camels back. I want to give him up. I would be sad without him but I feel like he’s too much. What to do?
I don’t want him to be euthenized. Should I take him to the humane society? Would anyone want a dog like him? I feel guilty but I think he has special needs that I unfortunately don’t have time for.
I didn’t choose to get a pit bull. I thought he was a “mutt” that wouldn’t have those strong tendencies toward aggression. I took him from a friend’s litter of puppies…I actually would have chosen a pit bull last (sorry pit bull lovers…I know they can be good dogs but you never know) It takes the right owner.
admin answers:
Sounds like you need a trainer/behaviourist…. Both for the dogs and your family… Its something all of you need to go to class for… They will teach not only your pups but your dog how to deal with your problems in a humanly manor..take BOTH dogs to the training…. If you take the one to the shelter they will probably euthanize him 🙁 so if you cant keep him try finding a Rescue group…..good luck…smile
EDIT: here is some info on both breeds…
Info on the breed:
FCI Official Name Boxer
Country of Origin: Germany
FCI Classification: Group 2 – Pinscher and Schnauzer – Molossoid breeds – Swiss Mountain and Cattle Dogs and other breeds; Molossoid breeds, mastiff type.
Utilization: Companion, Guard and Working Dog.
AKC Classification: Working Group
Personality: Intelligent, playful, fun-loving, even-tempered, affectionate, very devoted to its owner. The Boxer is weary of strangers and makes an excellent protection dog. When threatened, they exhibit fearless courage that would deter most intruders. They are highly adaptive to the home environment and will not claim all your spare time.
Size Category: Medium
Height: 21-25 inches at shoulders
Colors: Fawn or brindle : Fawn comes in various shades from light fawn to dark deer red but the most attractive shades are in the middle range (red fawn). Black mask. The brindle variety : fawn background of varying shades has dark or black stripes running parallel to ribs. Stripes must contrast distinctly to ground colour. White markings should not be discarded.
Average Litter Size: 6
Life Span: 10-12 years
Grooming Requirements: A quick brushing will be sufficient.
Shedding: Moderate
Social skills: Gets along with familiar dogs quite well, but can be aggressive toward strange dogs.
Suitability for Children: The well-bred Boxer is gentle, fun loving and patient with children. He may be wary of unfamiliar children.
Exercise Needs: Very high. The Boxer needs plenty of daily exercise (2 hours daily would be ideal for this high energy dog).
Train Ability: Easy to train but can be stubborn.
Health & Behavior Issues: Boxers are considered strong and sturdy dogs, but they suffer from several genetic diseases. The most common ailments are: lung cancer, skin allergies, joint problems, paw infections, sinus infections, hip dysplasia, gum tumors, and heart problems. It is strongly recommended to buy a Boxer puppy from a reputable breeder who takes good care of their puppies and provides a healthy living environment.
Some facts I found about pitbulls:
Pitbulls are GENETICALLY bred to be aggressive, that means, taking aggressive dogs and breeding with other aggressive dogs. Even if you are not breeding for an aggressive dog, the dog will have genes which make its temperment aggressive.
This means that you can have puppies bred from very calm not aggressive parents that will still be aggressive. It will take years to breed aggression out of pitbulls. Do you get it?
They are simply aggressive, and even if you have one that was raised in a loving home, doted on, goes to obiedience, gets socialized, they still have those genes. They are basically time bombs waiting to go off. I stand by what I say. There is no reason on earth for ANYONE to be allowed to, or to want to for that matter, have and own a pit bull terrier. Especially when there are so many other breeds to choose from.
It is irresponsible to keep this dog breed and promote it. Breeders of these animals sell them and they have no idea what the people are like they are selling to.
I know you love your pitbulls, but you could have easily fallen in love with another breed.
Its for pure selfishness and macho image that these dogs are kept as pets.
PIT BULL FACTS
How dangerous are pit bulls?
Temperament: The American Temperament Testing Society evaluated 122 dog breeds and found that the American Staffordshire Terrier, a type of pit bull banned in Denver, passed its evaluations 83.3 percent of the time, just behind the golden retriever (83.6 percent).
Bite fatalities: The American Canine Foundation calculated rates of human dog-bite fatalities by breed, and it found that pit bulls bite at a lower rate than many other dogs. The Doberman pinscher was found to bite 10 times as often as a pit bull. Another study concluded that fatal attacks “represent a small proportion of dog bite injuries to humans, and therefore, should not be the primary factor driving public policy concerning dangerous dogs.”
Most deaths: Pit bulls and Rottweilers have caused the most deaths, according to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Veterinary Medical Association and the Humane Society of the United States, which examined 20 years of dog-bite data. Julie Gilchrist, a CDC doctor who researches dog bites, said many factors go into biting risk, including the health of the dog and how the animal was raised.
