Can you give a little more info on this. I have two rubber hands that I use for testing dogs through fences. Generally if they rip the hand out of my hand (hidden under my coat sleeve) with a real good pull, they mean business as opposed to nipping at it. Not sure if this has anything to do with what you are asking. I have often thought of trying to come up with something that would be very close to an actual arm in texture etc. to the dog. This would be a great tool after the dog has done hidden sleeve. They very often reject a real arm on the first bite in real life.

Just worked a dog in PP over the summer in which we used hidden sleeve, muzzle work, and a fake arm. Not all at once, of course. ;) What we used was a latex halloween prop, complete with bloody stump, it has some give to it and works quite nicely.

What little I knew was that the dog is conditioned to a "correction" Mind you, not similar to clicker sound, but the sound of the clinking of the choke collar which automatically gives the dog a correction. Has the clicker eveolved from rubber arm technique? Your views and inputs....

cheers
