I don't know so much about the term "training" a CD, as the catching/holding comes instinctively really. Especially if a dog of a certain age doesn't want to catch, chances are, it's not going to. You really can't train one to. I'd say it's more of getting a CD used to your routine, like leading them to the bay etc.
Of course, the more pigs a novice willing CD prospect is put on, the more experienced he/she will become in the most efficient holding methods.
