Dog training question, need advice

Cullbuck I agree with the rest of the guys and girls just keep him in the woods . at a year old and already finding his own hogs is good even if its just running into one every now and then just keep hunting him and sooner or later a hog will break bay and leave the dog wondering which way he went then thats when your dog will discover how to use his nose on the ground and he will get better and better after he works a few out on his own and catches up with the hog. I see this alot when working pups without an older dog there to do the hard part for them. I like to hunt my pups with a old dog for a few times to kind of show them the ropes and then take just the pups without an old dog and let them have all the weight an there shoulders for a few times and get few hogs under their belts for theirselves , it just builds confidence for them and gets better and better. Just my 2 cents hope this helps .
