Why Is My Dog Expressing Its Glands on the Couch?
Dogs have two anal glands that are located just under the skin on either side of the anus. These glands are used to mark their territory and communicate with other dogs. When a dog is feeling stressed or threatened, they may express their glands as a way to feel more secure. If your dog is expressing its glands on the couch, it is likely because it feels comfortable and safe in that space.
