Ok, I deleted all the other replies, but here's what "I" do, not that it's correct.  Not sure if this is a small dog or large, but the concept is the same.  Put her on a table, seems to get them off guard when up high, place hand over top of snout, works great on long nosed dogs, also blocks the eyesight somewhat, so they usually don't see what's coming. Place fingers inside lips just behind the canines, (thumb on right side, fingers on left side) lifting her mouth open with the same hand, (what I mean is as you lift the upper jaw, the bottom one opens and voila, you can see down her throat, the higher you lift.) Drop the pill in and hope you don't hit the back of the tongue, as they can usually spit it up if it sticks to the tongue.  Be fast, give a treat afterwards and make a big fuss about what a good girl she is.

Well, we've tried Phase I of your "hotdog" plan (which she is on to -- eats the hotdog, spits out the pill), but cannot move to Phase II because we only own one dog. One very spoiled (and much loved) dog. Of course, I could always line up the husband and son and get them to gobble the hotdog chunks! lol
