I used to try to get it in the back of her throat and close her mouth and wait for her to swallow but I have found a way that works for me.
I eat alot of shaved turkey from the deli so I wrap the pill in a sm. piece of it but enough to cover it well, then I pick her up and hold her like a baby (belly up) she starts to smell it and I put it in her mouth and since she is up side down it just seems to go down in one gulp. Before I tried this I would think she got it down and in a second or two she would spit it out. Different things work for different dogs
Good Luck
