The first thing to do is, keep your head! You have to
remain calm and in control
. Your dog can sense when you are tense, stressed and scared. Bully breeds are always, to some degree, dog aggressive....some more than others. Sometimes you may go years without any problems, then one day your dog gets up and decides he/she doesn't like her other dog 'siblings'. Dog aggression cannot be eliminated, but it can be managed. If you don't practice NILIF, please start doing so... here is an excellent thread on NILIF..

Others will come with some great advice... please take all of it into consideration. Until you get your own emotions under control, do not hesitate to crate and rotate. It isn't going to hurt the dog, and until you get your own emotions collected, it could be your best bet.
If you don't have a break stick, get one ASAP. Every bully owner should have a break stick and know how to use it correctly. Never use it on any breed of dog other than bullies, but don't hesitate to use it when a fight breaks out. It's a good idea to have more than one, so you can get to it quickly. One of our members here has them, Boogieman, you can PM him or order one from this site...

I know I've given you a lot to read, but you need to read it all. Bully breeds are strong dogs, you have to have a strong, level head about you to handle them. It isn't impossible, but it can be if you aren't in control, of your emotions, and your dog.
