The problem with that, IMO, is that it only works for YOU, the perceived alpha dog. When you grab a dog and do that, yes, you will likely get that dog to accept you as the alpha dog, and the dog won't show any aggression to you.
But it does show the dog aggression, and the dog, many times, is going to want to assert itself as high as possible in the pack. So yeah, it will view itself as below you, as a large man, and it will accept that.
But it will likely view itself as ABOVE a smaller woman or child (or any stranger from outside the pack), and try to assert itself against them, particularly when you aren't around.
