Not reacting is going to be the simplest solution, Michael. It takes two to start a fight and if they both make eye contact that's an invitation to fight. It's considered confrontational by dogs just like when two boxers get into a ring and stare at each other...same invitation. The Pit Bull is obviously not a balanced dog nor trained not to be aggressive-the owners fault, and the only solution to me is to ignore and not react to his threats. To do the contrary is just to fuel his aggression by yelling at him or allowing your dog to stare and bark back. It's like being in a name calling contest when you were 10 years old. Nothing but tension will ever exist in an environment like that and that tension will escalate to some serious damage if not brought under control.

BTW-Chris, I think I'd be hitting up the owner for some cash to repair my fence. Maybe take some picture of it and a video of the Pit charging it. It could come in handy down the road.
