Some family of mine is going through this with their dog. It happened randomly while she is sleeping on the couch. It's either that she gets really relaxed and they just let go or that she gets relaxed and then startled (by a dream of something).
We aren't into expressing glands unless needed here either. But in this case, it's not a bad idea to make that expressing doesn't work. That is, what if expressing solves the problem? It may be worth a try.
I expressed this dog's glands awhile back and haven't heard if there have been anymore problems.
If they keep releasing like that and it can't be stopped, you can have them removed.
