I used to do this with our dobie but I think it only encourages aggression. According to the wikipedia article on the alpha roll, the monks of new skete no longer recommend it (i realize wikipedia isn't the most reliable source, but it makes sense).
Best of luck with the aggression issues. It's very hard to deal with and honestly you may require a behaviourist.
