American Pit Bull Terriers, aka Pit Bulls, have a very diverse set of behavioral traits. Individuals of the breed may exhibit behaviors at totally opposite ends of the scale from highly dominant, dog-aggressive, and even people-aggressive all the way to submissive, dog-friendly and people-friendly. In fact, this breed arguably exhibits the greatest range of behavior traits of any of the pure-bred dogs because of the different ways in which people raise them, use them, and treat them. Further, they tend not be as in-bred as other pure-bred dogs, leading to greater diversity in inherited behavioral characteristics. All that being said, there are some general behavioral traits that most Pit Bulls share - they do tend to be more dominant or dog-assertive than other breeds, they tend to be people-friendly, eager to please, playful, affectionate, and energetic. Dog-aggression is a common trait of the breed, but is by no means absolute. There are many multi-pit bull, or multi-dog with pit bull, families with no aggression problems. People-aggression is not considered a normal or acceptable part of the breed and should not be tolerated or encouraged!

If you delve into statistics about pitbull attacking humans, you will surely be surprised to discover the fact that pitbulls tend to be among the most rare attackers. That's right, despite public opinion, a dog of any other breed is much more likely to attack you than a pitbull. This menace to his peers would behave like a spoilt kitten with strangers, and can be bribed even without a treat.
