Couple things to consider.....
-
If your running her alone, the hog is more than likely charging her when it decides to stop. She probably isn’t confident enough to hold up to that kind of pressure alone. If you have to hunt her alone, your options are to spend some time in a controlled setting, bay pen or tied hog, and build her bay confidence up. Be sure to not let her get hurt during these sessions. Praise her and pet her up when she bays good. Ignore her if she don’t. Try this 3 or 4 times with a few days to a week between sessions. If she quits in the woods after that, try to walk her back into the hog (if you can) she might trail it back up and bay it with you there.
-
If your running her with other dogs that bay tight and pressure hogs, she might be getting scared by all the commotion at a bay.  Your only option  in this case, and the best imo, is to run her with 1 confident, loose baying dog that will stay hooked. She will stay or she won’t in this situation.
-
Ultimately, it’s up to the dog if they will or won’t bay. You can’t do it for them. The advice above gives you a couple things to help her out if you want to be patient with her. It’s up to you as to how many chances she will get. If she’s a great find dog, you can pair her with a good bay dog and you’ll catch your share. Good luck with her.
