Hi Susan,
Peanut butter can be a bit goopy to work with and sticks around the mouth
too much for pill hiding strategy. My favourite is cream cheese, the full
fat kind, and make a little cheese ball, you can either just put the cheese
ball on top of her food or offer as a treat. If she is suspicious just open
her jaws and pop it into the back of the mouth and hold her muzzle shut and
stroke her throat until she swallows. Another trick is a small dollop of
canned dog food push in the pill and leave in her bowl, don't let her see
you preparing the "treat", raw hamburger does well and likely she'll
swallow without it touching the sides:-)

ps Berners are very mouthy and like to hold hands. Offer her an alternative
and just remove and ignore her attentions.
