I have found one of the hardest things to teach my dogs to do is to leave once a hog is caught or killed and go back to hunting.  I have most of the young ones where I can lead them out about 20 yards and send them on and they won't go back, but sometimes during all the commotion of trying to tie it would be nice if the dogs would roll back out and get out of the way.  What has been beneficial to me is pulling a caught hog around in the buggy behind my four wheeler.  When a dog comes in and wants to go back there and bark I will catch him/her and lead them back out saying "caught hog".  They rarely bark at one in the trailer anymore and I would think the same would apply in the woods.

After thinking this over, maybe I should just let her be and it might act as a little more reason for the other dogs to get back out hunting.

As a sidenote, I have noticed that the rougher dogs are usually the ones that are harder to get back out.
