I dont know how you teach it, but I know the day my gyp started to roll out on another hog.

My lil gyp was almost 2 years old and I would say that she was started at the time, but fit more into the "help dog" category.  I was hunting in South LA on the edge of some crawfish fields and there were a lot of hogs.  We caught three hogs within the first hour or two.  She just happened to be in on all three of the bays, but I dont think she found any of those first three hogs.  After the third hog (while we were carrying the hog out) my lil gyp was walking in front of us  and she must have hit some real hot track.  She shot out like a bullet and went 200 yds or so and bayed by herslef.  I looked at my buddy and he looked at me and thought hat dang; she has found her first hod completely solo and bayed it.  Now I have to add, I never let baydogs just hang around a caught hog and damage the hog.  I always try to get baydogs back.

I can say with almost 100% certainty, that she has rolled out on almost every hog after that.  Didnt matter if she was cut or not, she had to roll out and look. I think the way you start to get dogs to roll out is not letting them stay and a caught hog.  As soon as the hog is caught and secure, get your dog and try to get them back out in sign.  Let them know that a caught hog is not allowed to be messed with.  Obviously this is easier when you have a lot of hogs; there is a greater chance of getting on more sign right away.  It would also help if just after a hog was caught, your dog could hear another dog bay; this teaches that there is more than one hog in the woods. Not sure if this is the right answer or helps you out, but it is my experience.

On another note, I think cur dogs and catahou;la or working breeds of dogs are easier to train on this than hounds.  I say this becuase I have 5 hounds and they wont leave a caught hog for aything.  It aggrevates me, but that is they way mine are.
