A couple notes:
1) Most of us have had some type of similar experience, not matter how long we've been hunting....you are not alone.
2) You are your own worst critic and you are probably judging yourself pretty hard. I bet if you went out and caught a giant boar tomorrow, you would keep the dogs that found him.
3) Starting over and being back at square one, doesn't necessarily mean you will be better off. Some of the best dogs I've seen were trashy at some point. Some dogs just have so much hunt that their nose and desire to run and bay/catch takes over.
4) Before you do anything...wait a little longer. Some people say "doing nothing is not an option". I say in some scenarios " doing nothing is the best option". Keep trying the dogs. Do something different or switch places or partners.
Don't know if this helps....if none of this works, I guess start over.

This seems like some pretty good advice. There are times when I get impatient though not with dogs as much as when I'm deer hunting and squirrel hunting and nothing is safe like SCK said
