The rulebook describes the Hound's behaviour, including a partner who is already out.

The Dog can only be led, alone, when you hold the lead, and it hands the lead to your partner, who may then lead any legal combination. If your partner has already gone out, the lead goes to the next player still in the hand after them in turn order, which can end up back with you. It takes no tricks and has no rank.
