- Most of the time it just means its rear itches. They cannot scratch it with their feet, so they glide across carpet. That is also why sometimes they "roll" around on the floor, because they cannot reach spots on their back to scratch it.
- Other times, they might have poop stuck to their fur. This is a recent personal experience with me. My dog had poop stuck to her fur, and so she would glide across the floor trying to get it off, and to my despair, leaving "doggy skidmarks" all around my house for me to clean up.
- This reason I'm not sure I believe, but it has been said a lot, is that if your dog scratches its rear on the floor, it has worms. This is not really "rare" but the first reason is most likely.
One of the main reasons a dog may "scoot" across the floor is because he or she is trying to express glands that sit inside the anal cavity. They are called anal glands. If it is not expressed on their own when a dog goes potty, then the gland continues to fill with this mucous-like substance. It aids the dog to go potty without having that "constipation" feeling. Some dogs are not able to express their own naturally and therefore have to scoot their rear ends to do it. And some have to have them manually expressed for them by a veterinarian. So those "skidmarks" are not really poop, but the mucous substance that was released when the glands burst. The smell from this excretion is far worse than the actual poop itself.

Why is your dog dragging her rear end on the carpet?
One reason may be that the dog has worms. They itch and the dog drags his/her rear to scratch the itch. My dog does this even though she doesn't have worms. (I know she doesn't because she was given a wormer recently.) I wonder if she does it just to wipe herself or scratch herself. Not sure if there are other reasons besides worms. Anyone else?
Why does a dog scoot on its rear end?
Oh, dude, when a dog scoots on its rear end, it's usually because they have an itchy butt. Like, maybe they have some irritation or worms going on back there. It's their way of trying to scratch that hard-to-reach spot. So, yeah, if you see your dog dragging their booty on the floor, it might be time for a vet visit.
