I was told you can tell when the anal glands are ready to be expressed when you see them scooting on the floor.

I agree. My vet said he gets tons of dogs with anal gland problems because the groomer do it wrong or don't get it all. Groomer wont go "in" when they express them. Peanut was having issues with his, they were filling up so fast- well I took him to the vet and they were full, which I just got them done at the groomer 2 weeks prior. I dont get them done anymore at the groomer- only the vet, I've had no isses since then
I can tell when Peanuts are full, he will scoot or bite at his bum.
