This behavior, often called "scooting", is a sign that your pups anal glands need to be expressed. A vet or groomer needs to do it for small dogs. Large dogs usually find a way to do it themselves. The glands are under the tail but actually quite different than the other elimination processes. Have your vet explain. It is important to do, as the glands can become infected. Good luck!
