I am sorry I don't have first hand advice for you - but I would recommend a good trainer or behaviorist (who works with dogs on dog-dog agression). I know ours does and the way he goes about it is using his trained dogs, or dogs whose personalities he knows and who he is working with, to work with the agressive dog. I only know of this because he has used our dog to work with one or two dog-agressive dogs and had asked our permission to do so... I think that a professional, who will be able to read both dogs' body language is the best bet, because based on an analysis of what is really going on with each dog, he or she will best be able to give you suggestions on how to proceed.
I also hate to say this, because I really believe there are no "problem breeds" there are problem people who breed for the wrong reasons or who don't socialize their dogs early and often - but it is my understanding that pits sometimes can have problems with agression toward other dogs, so you may have an uphill battle on your hands. I do hope some trainers and behaviorists, or someone who has more experience comes along and has some practical advice for you.
