      Training and keeping control of their dogs. Like any breed, pit bulls have needs in order to be happy and well-adjusted dogs. Relevant here is that, just like any strong dog with the possible exception of some of the gentle giants, they need extra discipline and a firmer touch in training.

      A properly trained and socialised pit bull that's treated well will not attack people or other dogs, whereas untrained and/or not properly socialised dogs of ANY breed are likely to develop problem behaviour, which can include aggression.

        Why do pits need "extra discipline" but labradors don't?

        A properly trained and socialised pit bull that’s treated well will not attack people or other dogs,

        This is a tautological argument, because every pit who attacks another animal or person will just be written off as "improperly trained".
