We have to give our girls pills twice a day. Fortunately, they take them very easily. One method we use that I have not seen here is using bananas. We cut about a inch off the banana and split it in half (2 dogs). Then you squish the pills into the banana and feed it to your dog. This works best with very ripe bananas. We have also used small pieces of soft cheese. Years ago with our first dog, we would buy Snausages and break them in half. Then we would shove the pill into the half a Snausage and hold the other one to give him after he ate the first half.

Tal, good luck with getting your dog to take his meds. I know it can be a pain sometimes. I have actually pried their mouths open and shoved the pills down their throats on occasion. Sometimes you gotta take drastic measures.
