My wife worked 40 years for 4 different corporations, CO Airlines, CCS (a spinoff), EDS, and HP. Same job (mostly, with promotions) and same office. Got 3 different retirement plans.
Every dog I ever owned did that. The last four were all Akitas. Dogs don’t have a gag reflex. You pinch their cheeks behind their canine teeth and pry their mouths open. Then put you hand as far to the back of their mouth as you can and drop the pill. Then hold the mouth shut, gently, until they lick their nose. That means that they swallowed it.
I taught all of our Akitas with voice and hand signals. I’d use either voice, hand, or both. So, I’d do voice and hand, “Sit”, then voice and hand, “Down”, then voice and hand, “Head down.” Then I would do voice only, “Sit,” then voice, “Down”, then voice, “Head down.” By the time I got to hand only commands I did, Sit . . . and he sat up, laid down, and put his head down without further commands. He just wanted the treat.
