How do you express dogs anal gland?
Anal glands should be regularly checked and expressedwhen necessary in order to empty the build up of secretions from the gland. This can be done by your vet, groomer or even by you - getting the knack of this is not difficult especially once you have been shown the technique. To express your pet's anal glands use your fingers or a thumb and forefinger to gently apply pressure on either side of the anal opening - on the outside of the glands. Press inwards and upwards and you should see the fluid being expressed. no you people are insane just joking
How can you stop your dog from rubbing his bum on the carpet?
Dogs get hemorrhoids too. Take him to a vet. Sounds like impacted anal glands. Dogs have two glands next to their anus. They must be emptied regularly (during baths, etc.). Your vet can also do this for you. Usually dragging his bottom is a sign of this. Simply emptying those glands should solve the problem. The majority of the time a dog drags it's butt across the capet is that is has worms. I do not reccoment squeezing your dog's anal glands until your dog proves he needs help with it. You will know when your dog has a problem with his anal glands because they will swell. If you do it once for your dog it will lose it's ability to do it on it's own. Only mess with them if you absolutely have to!!! - x1

Yes it does. You should take your dog in to your Veterinarian to have the anal glands checked out and expressed too. You want to make sure they are not infected. The Vet can then show you how to express your own pet's anal glands yourself. Normally a dog will naturally express the anal glands on their own by just exercising but sometimes the older & fatter dogs that are in the house constantly will end up with blocked anal glands or draining glands that smell to high heaven. You need to learn how to express them yourself but first make sure there is not an infection present.

Express anal glands dachshund?
Expressing anal glands on a dog, especially when your not 100% certain how to do it, can result in perforating the anal sacs. Make a appointment with your vet who will do these for you. Usually you shouldn't need to express your dogs anal glands manually as the dog will generally do this on their own. Anal glands are expressed naturally when your dog has a bowel movement. If your dog has been scooting on the floor, biting their anus or if there is a rash or swelling of the anus then take your dog to the vet. A infection will not be erradicated by expressing glands manually...this only makes it more comfortable for the dog and does not treat the infection. Medication will be required.
