There are several YouTube videos that show you how to express a dog's anal glands. (Use the search words express dog's anal gland) It requires the use of those thin rubber gloves, some lubricating jelly, and paper towels. The vet who does the demonstration on one of the videos had a placid-looking lab who didn't seem to even be aware what was happening. When I tried it on my Chihuahua, he knew all right, and he didn't like it one bit. (Maybe that was because he is so small.) So from now on, I prefer to have them do it at the vet's office, even though they charge me about $15. If you go to the vet, you can ask them to show you how to do it, or advise you on how to prevent problems with the anal gland.
Usually the sign that your dog's anal glands are clogged is when he starts scooting on the ground or the rug. The fluid in the gland is supposed to come out naturally when the dog poops. I found that if I make sure my dog isn't constipated, this seems to help. I mix brown rice in his food for roughage, or a little cooked vegetable (swet potato, broccoli), or a little bran or psyllium powder (not too much!).

Dogs have anal sacks that get fill up with liquid. When they get full they will drag their bottom on the floor and will continue to do so until the sacis drained.
