I wonder why the pit bull bit his new owner any ideas? My pit bull is well behaved now and affectionate dog. I don't want to get into a situation like that. I wonder if there are any tell tale signs that one's pit bull will bite them. I am the alpha of the pack but I don't over do it I give him some slack. I wonder if maybe sometimes the pit bull becomes alpha in the family little by little jumping on family members, licking face, walking on furniture, ripping things up? Mine doesn't do this. Or is it sometimes biological/psychological imbalance? Or bad up bringing? Or maybe all of the above? Mine was a little wild when younger because he wasn't obediance trained by previous owners. But now he behaves because I trained him, he trusts me and I treat him well. I don't want my dog to turn out like one of those dogs though.
