IMO, you can take any ruff dog and put in a pen with the biggest and baddest boar hog and let the dog get whipped time after time.. Yeah, it might take him a few times to learn that hog and that he cant catch that one, he will probally quite tryin and bay him.. Just when you think you got him broke from being ruff, go ahead and put him on another hog and see what happens... To me ruff dogs tend to size up the different hogs that they bay, whether it be in the woods or pens, they are quick to determine if they can take that hog or not, that is something I have not been able to teach a dog , its already in him,
A dog that can size up the hog and make a decision sounds like a winner to me! As far as making a dog less gritty, No 1 method is gonna work on all dogs as it is up to the dog as to how it will take the beating and how it will approach the pig. My brother in Law has a pure bull that will bark the hair off of a pig do to getting cut by a small boar with big blades when young, He never lost his hunt but definately has backed up.
