Its rear end should be facing you. If you have a partner, they should secure the dog by wrapping one arm around the neck and the other at the side of the body, hugging the dog close to them. You should be at level with the dog's bottom, in a position that is comfortable to maintain.  While the process shouldn't take too long (about five minutes), the first time may require a little extra time and patience. Make sure you're in a comfortable position. The procedure won't hurt your dog, but if the glands are particularly swollen or impacted, your pet might be guarding their backside more than usual. Be careful and pay attention to your pet's body language. Talk to it, stroke it, and attempt to keep things as relaxed as possible. You yourself should stay relaxed, as well: this will help things go smoothly. Place two fingers (thumb and forefinger) on either side of the anus. The anal glands are beneath the skin, just under the anus, at approximately 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock. If the glands are full, you will feel a slight bulge, about cherry-sized, when pressing inward just below the anus.  Emptying the glands depends on pressing in the right place. If you can't feel the "cherries," you are either in the wrong place or the glands don't need emptying. Sometimes only one gland may be full. This could be a sign that the glands were functioning normally but that one has become infected or impacted. Call your vet before attempting to express the sac. This could require a round of antibiotics. Keeping your thumb and forefinger on the glands, gently apply pressure up and in, in the direction of the anus. You should not squeeze continuously, but rather in gentle pulses. Don't apply too much pressure: no more than you would apply to your own closed eye. If you're milking correctly, the liquid should be coming out in slow drips.  If nothing is coming out, try adjusting the position of your fingers. The liquid smells strongly of fish and may be anything from a clear, smooth consistency to a brownish, grainy substance.  If the discharge is bloody or especially pasty, do not continue. See your vet as soon as possible about a possible impaction or infection. You may want to try again another day. Repeated milking can be painful and cause bruises, which only exacerbates the issue. Or, the glands may be impacted, which requires veterinary intervention. Don't force the expression. It may be difficult to express the anal sacs of large dogs because they are located deeper internally. If this is the case, don't persist and hurt the dog. Seek veterinary attention because the sacs may need emptying via an internal procedure (placing a gloved finger in the rectum, which is best done by a professional!). You'll know they're empty when the sacs are barely palpable and there is no more liquid being expressed. Do this gently, as your dog may be feeling discomfort associated with the swollen glands. Praise your dog, pet him, and reward him for his cooperation. Wipe the dog's rear with a clean paper towel and thoroughly bathe the dog. If your dog won't tolerate a bath at this point, make sure you at least wash and rinse his bottom before letting him loose. Too much expression can do more harm than good, leading to irritation and loss of muscle tone in the gland (reducing its ability to function normally).  You shouldn't need to do this more than a few times a year. If your dog has frequent troubles with his glands, see your vet. Although dog groomers may practice regular anal gland expression, this is not recommended unless there is a problem with the glands.
