What's good about what you describe is that obviously the dog is crazy about a hog!
You mentioned that the pup is persistant, but the key is for YOU to be MORE persistant!
One of the most challenging things I usually deal with in young dogs is getting them to roll out after a catch or kill, and usually the more gritty the dog the harder it is. Even when you get dogs rolling out on killed hogs, they usually still want to hang around one that is still kicking, grunting, and showing some "action!" if you tie your hogs. Leading the dog back out, then standing between it and the hog not letting it back TIME AND TIME again is the only way I've found. When you load one in the trailer, you may have to stop...lead the dog ahead, then wait a minute and move on. It can be done, but patience and persistance is crucial.
Be careful with the shock collar. You want the dog to understand that messing with a hog is NOT bad, but that his/her job there is done.
