You (handler) have desired behavior than you (handler) do something to mess it up and than you (handler) ask what's wrong with the dog:-)

What is the helper doing when you try to craddle the dog? If the dog is on the sleeve (rather than it being slipped and carried first), can you come up, craddle the dog, and then have the helper slip slowly and back away? I've seen this work with a few dogs who get too hectic if the sleeve is slipped and carried first.

My young dog and I have what sounds like a very similar situation. I don't try to cradle him anymore. Used to, and it just led to more craziness. I take him down the field, away from the helper. Then I let him circle and carry as much as he wants. May be a step, may be a minute. The second he starts chewing, I out him (at least that is the plan.... hard to make it happen sometimes as I am learning to).
Last week I did not even have to go a long way away from the helper... just far enough that the dog is not still wanting to fight. You may ask the helper to turn sideways or avert his eyes.
I have found that if I platz him, he outs naturally, and then I don't get involved and create more conflict.
