Pit bull owners if truly responsible already tend to over training the said problem as they know they live with a "bad" breed.
Let us also get the breeders involved too. If they super socialize the pups out of the gate all pups then aggression do to fear will be less.
Anyone know what it takes to super socialize a litter of pups?
While we are at it.... kids ..got to love them, all need to learn from the get go that hugging a dog, any dog around the neck can get you bit or asking for a face kiss from the wrong dog can get you bit..... I say this as I work with a 2 year old that lives with two great dogs that allow her to do anything but we have to always remind her that not all dogs are like hers and no you may not hug or kiss that one.

Let's face it. 98% of the problem is bad press. When they raid a place like Vicks and pull out pitbulls instead of labs and chows. It is the pitbulls gettin' all the press. And jimbob crackerhead with the flag and dually truck that wraps his manhood in his pitbull with the knobby collar and loves that he has to tell people that its trained to kill cats and little rat dogs...none of that helps. That boy ain't hauling around a standard poodle in the back of his truck. All the responsible owners in the world are not going to overcome the bad press. There have been numerous cases of of non pitbull dogs attacking and killing humans. They get a short blurb and that's it. Never the sensationalism of bully breeds.
