I would let them bay and catch a smaller hog to build  their confidence (baypen)...then I would put them with a bigger pig that can teach them a little respect to make them back up and bay...

Then I would stage a pig where the pups can smell them at cross wind...mark the spot where the pig scent is crossing...just in case the pups need encouragement to find when roading them...

Also...I think it is important to not just road them...turn them out in some open woods and kick back and relax...let the pups get bored and they will learn to roll out and range and when they check back in move to another spot and repeat...when roading them and if they smell something that gets their interest...stop and let them work it out and sometimes you should help them work it out to solve what they are working...and sometimes they might surprise you and bay a pig...if they lose interest move on...it is all about the pups...doing the right things at the right times will bring out the best from the pups...good luck and enjoy...  

Let your imagination be your guide...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
