Hello Martin,
  Glad you took the time to write.  Your dogs wont come to you?
Well, this is what I do on dogs that I have that are not coming to
me.   I tie them out on a chain.  When ever I feed them, I pet them.
after a few days of this, I try calling them to me, if they come, I
pet them and feed them.  If they dont, I put feed in the feed bowl
but pull it out of their reach and leave it that way for a bit.  then
I come back out and try again.   Usually a hungry mouth will overcome
their being stubborn.

   On an older dog that I have been using for a while.  If I'm out
hunting and call them in or they come in and I call them and they
come towards me and just before they get to me, they go around or
wont let me catch them.  I have had my best luck in stopping this with
my Tritronics shock collar using low power.  It doesnt take but a
time or two and they will be GLAD to feel your gentle touch I assure
you....

Good luck with your hounds.  I dont know anyone anyone who uses full
blood hounds on hogs, your the first.

Jim
