The one place where I see a lot of people mess up and have a real hard time is when they are just trying to hold them down. All you've gotta do is grab that top leg at the hock and more or less lean back with that leg.

You talkin' about the front leg or back? Our terminology may be different, but I assume you are talking about the front... which, yes, that does work most times...
You learn how to tie a hog yet?
Yeah, yeah, yeah I got it down pat
Front leg, just like you would a calf. A lot of people lean forward and try to put all of their weight on them and just try and manhandle 'em, which if they do get up some how, your gonna get dumped on your head! I think when you lean back with 'em it brings that bottom leg up and they can't get traction, if that makes any sense?
Also, one reason I really don't like real "catch dogs" is I like the dogs to let go once I get my hands on the hog. Absolutely hate a dog pulling on the hog for that split second after you flip a hog til you get on top of it, especially if there is a dog on each ear. I don't like anybody helping me try to flip a hog either, most of the time they just get in the way.
