best thing you can do is try to find someone to run your pup with. then make the time to get it out in the woods. that's the hardest part for most, myself included. if you have access to some wooded areas (like at your house) take a smaller pig and drag it to a wooded spot and tie it out. let your pup follow the trail and bay it up. praise the poop out of him for finding and baying the pig. make it a little harder every time (don't put it in the same spot or drag it in the same place). make it a little longer after you drag the pig until you put the dog down on the scent trail as well. do that for a while and he'll get an idea of what the game is. then try taking him to the woods again with a buddies dogs that are finding hogs. put him down on fresh sign and if you come up empty handed take him back to the house and do the "staged" hunt again.
this is the advice i've been given and it works fairly well. but you're gonna come to a point where the "staged" aint gonna work and you just need to keep him in the woods. if you know someone with a wooded pen take him there to "hunt" as well.
only advice i've got....the same i've been given.
good luck to ya.
