The trouble with using salt (apart from leaving a horrible mess!) is that it doesn't deal with the slime trail which can also pass on the worm to the dog.
I think all you can do is use a wormer that helps prevent them taking hold, and be vigilant for coughs etc that might be a sign that he's infected.
