Are pit bulls intelligent

Most people think that certain types of breeds are naturally "mean" or "aggressive". Pit bulls are one of them. However, whether a dog shows aggressive behaviour is not dependant on the breed, but on how we handle the dog.

A dog that shows aggression shows such in certain natural situations, like dominating their space and protecting it from other animals (and people). Escalating aggression happens when a human (or animal) shows weakness, often in form of tensing, backing away, or generaly being scared. Remember, a dog can allways tell how you feel on the inside. If a dog shows aggression, staying calm will show them that you're not scared, and they will probably back off.
