If the dog fights too much, hold the pill with needle nose plier and hold the dog's mouth open. Use the pliers to put the pill back as far as you can and then shut his mouth fast. Rub his throat until he swallows several times. Praise him lavishly and give him a big treat.
I know the pliers may seem mean. they are meant to get the pill as far back as you can without you getting bitten. They won't hurt the animal at all. I have done this with dogs and cats.
