Carrying is suppose to be a technique to free up the dog. Dog is overloaded in aggression, we use carrying to help release the overload therefore promoting a calmer bite with less hecticness. Everything is to strive for that balance which is key temperamant in our working dogs.

Have you tried putting a lead on the sleeve and immediately after the helper releases start pulling the sleeve and dog in a circular fashion until he gives in?

If you're already having issues with a poor grip while on the helper and hecticness I think carrying would probably be a great idea. But if the grip is full then so be it. If you have found other techniques to relieve the pressure then work with those.

That is the dog. I definately think you can make a big issue out of it that's not really necessary. Once you open up that can of worms who knows what you'll get. JMO In no way am I an expert.
