A pit bull (there area few different varieties, this is a catch-all term and not the name of any one specific breed), like all dogs, is as tame and well-behaved as its owner trains it to be. Pit bull-type dogs need a "job" and if they don't have one they will get bored and frustrated, and can then show aggression. Training them to be aggressive is another matter entirely. They need exercise, not just enough walking to relieve themselves and return home to the rug in the kitchen. Showering them with love isn't what makes a dog of ANY type, well behaved. In fact, if you praise the dog and never teach him correct behavior, he's more likely to misbehave because you're sending him the signal that bad behavior gets rewarded.
