This could indicate heartworms, which is a serious condition and is fatal if not treated. It can also be due to Allergies, which is quite common in dogs. Your vet can do an allergy test to determne what, if anything, your dog is allergic to, including foods and pollens, dust, etc.
The dog might have worms, which causes it to be itchy; by dragging himself around on his bum, he is trying to relieve the itch.
There are medicines to give dogs to treat worms.
Other conditionsDogs have a gland in that area called the anal gland. Sometimes this can become clogged and it will swell, that makes it uncomfortable so the dog will scoot to try to relieve this. His/her anal sacks (located around the anus) need to be expressed. You can take your dog to a groomer or to a vet and they will do this for you. The sacks get itchy and inflamed when they are full. (note, the liquid that comes out is foul smelling.)If your dog also chews or excessively licks its paws this is an indication of allergies.
It could also mean that it wants to go out, or is asking for food, or is trying to clean the space.
Territory markingIt is a way of marking their territory. all dogs have two small scent glands, one on either side of their tail. especially dogs that are not neutered or spayed, will have more hormones and the glands can sometimes be overactive causing the dog to feel the need to relieve the pressure down there, so they drag they're butt. if you take your dog to the vet or to a groomers, they can squeeze the glands for your dog so he/she stops doing it. What to doThe dog may have parasites or its anal gland may be impacted. Take the animal to a groomer and pay to have the gland 'manually expressed'. There is a technique involved that isn't recommended for people who lose their lunch easily.If you go to a good dog groomer, they cut their hair and give them a spit shine, and if they are really good, they will clear this gland. It is something like popping a pimple, only much grosser. "Dirty Jobs" had a spot about it a couple years ago.
Also, wash the carpet or floor where the dog has done it.
Dogs may scoot their butts across the floor to relieve itching or discomfort in their anal area. This behavior could be caused by issues such as impacted anal glands, parasites, or skin irritation. It is important to consult a veterinarian to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.
Dogs may rub their butts on the ground to relieve itching or discomfort caused by anal glands that need to be expressed. This behavior helps them alleviate the irritation and maintain cleanliness in that area.

Dogs Like/sniff other dog butts to get information about the dog. It is a form of communitcating.

Other dogs butts
Dogs may scoot across the floor to relieve itching or discomfort in their anal glands. This behavior could indicate a need for a vet visit to address any underlying issues.
Dog's don't have hands to scratch their butts with, so they scoot to scratch an itch. Sometimes when their butts itch, it means they have worms, and then you have to buy them some worm medicine.
by kissing your poo and licking dogs
Scoot bars for dogs can help improve their mobility and stability, making it easier for them to move around. They can also provide support for dogs with mobility issues or injuries, helping them to maintain their independence and quality of life. Additionally, scoot bars can help prevent injuries by reducing the strain on a dog's joints and muscles while walking or standing.
