My hound is pretty well started and the more we I'm noticing he takes off buy himself n works alone but he can't seem to hold a bay long enough for my other dogs to make it to him any tricks of the trade that might help me help him hold a bay longer? Any info would be greatly appreciated pm me here or txt me 940 597 7243 thanks in advance

Unfortunately, the only way I know of for a pup to get better at holding a bay is age and experience.  Show him a lot of hogs and he'll get better at shutting them down.

OR, he may never be good at it, he is a hound. If he's striking them and getting to the game then setting back and bawling, genetically speaking, he's doing what he was meant to. I've got a redbone cur cross dog that will strike hogs all say every day and hunts like a dream but it didn't take me long to learn to give him a pack dog who knows how to hold a hog. By himself, people say wow that dogs got some bottom, give him his pack dog and that bottom don't matter. All I'm saying is sometimes you gotta learn the dog and set him up for success.

I agree i got an old plott male that has tons of bottom but is the most loose baying dog i own and as the y said above you have to learn the dog and insert or take away dogs etc that make him better or worse
