No ones knows for sure, but you haven't given alot of info. Is this a hound or cur or hound/cur cross. Does she come from a line of open dogs? The only thing you can do is run him with silent dog until he gets silent or you can't live with it anymore.
Dogs do start open and quiet down. Not all but some do. I think it's a learned trait if they are natural open(bred to be open). There was a big discussion on this on the plott board awhile back. Some dogs learn they can catch game quicker by being silent. Example, open coon dogs goes silent. Learns that he can catch coons on the ground or tree quicker by being silent.
I have seen a once top notch dog(coldest nose cur ever hunted with-RIP TAZZ) that was open go silent after he lost a step. He always wanted to get by himself before the younger faster dogs would burn up the track. Dog went from open all the the time to trail trail trail bayed.
