From what I gather from the info I have seen, most dogs will express their own glands when they poop.  Some dogs don't and those are the ones that need them expressed.  I've had three yorkies and Ruby is the only one I've had that done too.  I noticed her licking and kind of gnawing at her back end.  She was also scooting her butt and I was pretty sure it wasn't worms.
