My buddy just gave me a year old pit gyp. She saw her first hog today. I had 2 ba dogs baying and turned her loose. She ran in and bayed about a foot from the boars snout. She got grabby on top of the snout but never "latched on."
I have never trained a catch dog. Where should I go from here? Is it even worth dealing with the dog if she doesn't have the instinct to latch on right away.
The hog was not rough at all. Would a rougher hog with another pit hanging on the ear be a good idea?

I'd try her with another catchdog just to give her a chance.The other dogs baying threw her off a little and she probably wasnt sure if she should catch.But if she wont lock on with another catchdog I'd say cull her.JMO

if the hog hits her a few times i bet she will latch on, just if she starts catching where you dont want , pull her off an let her catch where you want like on the ear

X2 If she is biting and holding.Just pull her off and let her bite some ear she will learn the ear is the sweet spot.... if the hog hits her a few times i bet she will latch on, just if she starts catching where you dont want , pull her off an let her catch where you want like on the ear

I'd try her with the same hog just by herself. if still nothing get a hold of the hogs back legs and have her loose in the pen. if still nothing another catch dog. if still nothing I wouldn't keep her.
