Not an easy answer. Too many variables.
If you do that, hard dogs get harder and softer or immature dogs, get softer. Generally speaking good dog will bite harder and harder if you take him off. In Czech we take a dog off in police dog training (not in sport training) until he is really serious and then we teach normal command out. That produces dogs which do not let go easily in a fight. However sometimes it is then hard to convince them to out on command which was no problem (legaly) back then in Czech. Here in USA Patrol /Police dog must out on command in order to certify. So I would be careful with this. You are walking fine line and it depends what you should do on the personality of a dog. If you have super hard dog he may never out on command if you always take him out during beginning of a training. Compromise:
Out on command is a obedience.
I recommend teach him to out on toys, or sleeve in one man routine where you have the sleeve on your own arm as a obedience. But with other decoys take him of. Then when he is really doing good teach him to out while biting decoys.
As I said; not an easy answer. Too many variables.
