stopping a runner

I hunted a place for 4 years with a guy I ran with my dogs struck 90% of the hogs there year after year the guy I hunted with was not real experienced in dogging and we had our differences so i started hunting other places needless to say the awesome finished strike dogs i had couldn't stop a hog over 15lbs they would either bark two three times and. The hogs would break or when the rest of the dogs would get there the hog would break. I went from cloud nine with the best dogs in the world to wanting to trade em In for a newer modle lol thinking they weren't worth a poo but 2-3 months of lossing hogs and bam they figured it out. And so did I my dogs would strike them under pressured hogs all the time but couldn't hang with the smarter hogs on the new place that would run .50 mile plus with time we both figured out ways to improve our game and put pork on the table in this game u have to constintly adapt and adjust to every different situation that comes with time I hope u or ur dogs will figure it out and grow from there good luck
