How do you pill the hard to pill dogs?

[slleipnir]

Always done the

1. "Sit"
2. Pry dogs mouth open
3. Throw pill to the back of the throat
4. Clamp mouth shut with one hand and point the nose skyward while
5. Other hand strokes the throat until you know she's swallowed.
6. Pet dog and say "good girl!!!!!!"
7. Get glared at.

That's what I do (only I say good boy instead of girl ;D) but it takes him FOREVER to swollow it.
