In a number of bite sports it's common to train/expose the dogs to all sorts of unusual sights and sounds because the trials will have sights and sounds that aren't seen in normal life. If for nothing leas it could be fun to add different sights and sounds to extend your dog's training and exposure to different things. Just don't push things to fast and if the dog seems even a little bit unsure then just take a few steps back in what your doing.

Oh thanks so much, Bob! Originally it was just curiosity from my part. Now that I'm reading this, it makes not only fun, but also lots of sense. No I will not push and i will train this with every dog individually, so I can work with each one following his own improvement. Great! It's like a new discovery.

I should have added that doing this with you own dog isn't a good idea in particular for someone not familiar with bite sports with.
This can put stress on many good dogs and can, as mentioned in my post above about it can be a bit hazard without a lot of knowledge.
If you think about it you creating situations about fooling your dog. Not dog with a lot of though and help this stress can quite probably create a loss of trust in the handler.
In the bite sports I mentioned it is the decoy/helper that does this and NOT the owner/handler.
Doing it just for fun isn't necessarily something I myself would do with out the help of a very experienced decoy.
Still do expose your dogs to everyday thing you may run across in daily living but pushing it to you wearing a disguise could create a loss of trust from your dogs.

Ooooh, pity!
The last thing I want, is to lose the trust of my dogs.
I certainly don't want to go into bite sports and even if I wanted, I'd have no one within reach to teach me this. I've seen a bit of this kind of training in a M.E. DVD. Imagine I in my age in a bite suit. No way! I wouldn't want one of my dogs jumping at me with that speed and force.
I was once watching my two pits chasing each other and the bigger one hit me accidentally to the ground while running by. I fell on my back and skull. Wow, that hurt and I'm glad i didn't break anything. Luckily the Vet happened to be here and had the chance to examine for a change a human. So you see how useful they sometimes can be.
Only "bite sport" I practice is with a bite wedge with one of the pits. But I don't let her come from a great distance, so she can't reach a high speed and she lets go immediately when I say OUT and make the wedge "dead".
Thank you for warning me, Bob. I know I'm sometimes a bit
