My groomer usually does this but I've taken to grooming my dog at home. How often does this gland need expressed so there doesn't end up being a problem?

Well, the frequency of anal gland expression can vary depending on the dog. Some dogs naturally empty their anal glands during bowel movements, while others may require manual expression. It's generally recommended to have the anal glands checked and expressed if necessary every 4-8 weeks, or whenever there are signs of discomfort or anal gland issues such as scooting or excessive licking
