As you are getting them off tell them 'caught hog' and instead of just stuffing them in the dog box still amped up let them sit there and calm down (even if you have to hold them back at first) gradually working up to letting them associate 'caught hog' with backing off and calming down on their own while being loose...but you have to be consistent and realize that it is going to take some serious work / commitment.

Our dogs know it, even the CD and a great thing to teach them but it takes time....rolling out I haven't a clue except that I have read that you have to put them 'back in there' as soon as they are off the hog but while none of our dogs will mess with a caught hog they typically either hang around or go load up on the tool box which we have conditioned them to do so it isn't so much their fault.
