The key thing is socialization. Bring her EVERYWHERE with you, especially the first year of her life. Take her to the post office, on walks around the neighborhood (and ask people to come up and pet her), bring her to dog parks or areas where dogs play so she is friendly with other animals, etc. The more places you bring her, the better off she will be.

Also bring her to puppy classes or a dog trainer (I would not recommend Petco or Petsmart, they tend to take random people off the street and put them through some training but they are not real trainers). Classes can be great socialization as well and you'll have a professional going through training with you in person and able to give you tips.

Basic Dog Training Commands - Improve Your Dog's Behavior

• If you get a pit bull pup, then just be nice to it everyday. Show it attention whenever it wants it. Take it out for walks and invite a lot of people over to come play with your pup, so he/she won't be scared when others comes around. I think dogs gets scared and there defensive mode kicks in and that is why they become aggressive. When they are not used to a situation that enters their life, they just don't know what to do.
  
  So to review what I said, Play and talk with you pup, walk your pup, and invite people over to play and pet your pup. Also, it is a good idea for your pup to grow up around other pups and maybe adult dogs as well. However, adult dogs may not feel like playing like pups do and may growl, and bark at them to make them get away, which could inflict that behavior on the pup.
  
  I have had about 8 dogs in my life, so I have a pretty good ideal on how to raise a dog with a great personality.
  
  Some dogs it is difficult to make them learn that they should be good. Some dogs, like humans, have mental disabilities and are just not normal. With dogs like this, only thing you can do is just do what I said above and hope for the best.


• You should take her to some obedience classes right from the beginning this way no bad habits form that can make it very hard to train her correctly. You can find an obedience class by calling your local vet. They should have some information on great obedience trainers in your area. Good Luck
