Since you started the pup, by walk hunting with another dog that you knew wouldn’t hunt out. It seems to make sense to me that this is a learned behavior. If you have spent a considerable amount of time teaching this pup it didn’t have to hunt out, I wouldn’t expect the dog to just figure it out. Now if this was a Young dog started by itself I would suggest letting it it go and pay it no attention let it get bored and wander off. BUT this seems to be a taught behavior in my mind you have two options one deal with the dog how it is, or make it known that standing around is not acceptable. A green switch will do the trick but sometimes dog will get confused and just go off in the dark and quit on a you. I suggest turning it out with another dog that will knock a hole in the dark that you know is straight. Then taking her back out and make it known that standing around is not acceptable. All dogs are different some can take correction others you have to wait out. But I tend to get impatient especially when hunting alone. There are far better dog men on this board then I, this is just my two cent.
