So lets say caught hog, got'em hobbled.... Push my dog off and let's go and maybe she'll get the hang of It, even if she didn't strike it?
Yeah, that's kinda what were all hoping for isn't it?
I've got a good red dog who strikes a lot of hogs but would just wait for me to get him out and hunting again till my Ratty gyp started surpassing him in ability, for the next few weeks he continued to respond to her bays and just kinda acted sulky. Eventually the switch flipped and now more often than not he's gone as soon as the hog is flipped and burning up the woods wether there was more hogs or not. The rest of my young dogs are beginning to catch on as well.
Ratty and her half sister came genetically preprogrammed to roll and as such they don't wait for human interaction if they know there's a sounder still out there. The rest of the dogs are leaving a hog as a learned behavior, some are leaving and hunting while others are just leaving because the rest of their pack has moved on. Some dogs will never do it some will, good luck with yours
