I think you're somewhat right. My opinion is that they are a breed that requires a very strong and strong willed owner. Someone who they will see as the alpha "pack leader" without question.
Most people who own pits just shouldn't own them IMO. But you look at even the most vicious pits, and someone like Cesar Milan can come along and work with those dogs and rehabilitate them back into a pack and they no longer fight with other dogs...just cements the fact that they need a strong owner with a lot of time to devote to them.
They are a high energy breed and you have to give them something good to do with that energy or they will do something bad with it (like attacking other animals or people).
I think your rant seems on the extreme end of the spectrum, in other words.
I have to bump this, seriously, only to add there is a difference between what Cesar does and what a dog trainer does. Cesar doesn't teach a dog to perform tricks, he fixes the emotional problem (which he calls energy, never mind the terminology, 99% of the time it's the human's problem because they think dogs use a human brain to think) and when that problem is fixed THEN the dog trainer can teach the damn dog tricks.
I FRIGGIN' LOVE CESAR!!! He da man!!! I own two of his books and I'm a cat person.
And to trainers who disdain Cesar's methods, fuck them, seriously. Every one of them is applying human psychology to an animal's mind, which doesn't work.
Cesar uses a lot of touch and body language with dogs, that's how dogs communicate. I have cats, six of them, and cats communicate through body language (posture and tail position) and eye contact. I have a couple of cats that I can actually get to do certain things (come to me, sit on my lap -- or not -- sit or stand in a specific spot) without moving my body or saying a word or using food. You just have to understand that cats communicate
by eye contact. If I look at virtually any of my cats, then look at where I want it to be, then look back at my cat, the cat will get up and move to where I looked (some of them are faster on the uptake than others). Shit like that wouldn't work with dogs but a really good example of dog versus cat psychology: In a dog, sniffing butts is a way of greeting; in cats, sniffing butts is considered the epitome of trust. When a cat sticks its ass in your face, it's actually giving you the highest compliment it can (in it's language). You need to realize, the cat is doing the equivalent of giving you a copy of both its car keys AND the keys to its house. On the other hand, for dogs, ass sniffing is equivalent to shaking hands and exchanging business cards.
Animals don't friggin' communicate the same way we do, but they DO communicate. You just have to find their language.
