As a warning it is going to smell really bad, like rotten fish:
Prepare a warm moist wash cloth or towel. Raise the dog's tail and locate the anal glands. The glands should be at approximately 5 o'clock and seven o'clock positions in relation to the anal circumference. you will feels the glands as small firm nodules in the perianal area. Place the cloth over the area. Position your thumb on one gland and index finger on the opposite gland.
By pressing in and squeezing your fingers toward each other the glands should empty. Wipe the area clean with the cloth. Repeat if necessary.
If the discharge is bloody or purulent in appearance there is probably an anal gland infection
i would however have a vet or someone who has done this before show you a few times first.

a dog's anal glands are located at 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock around their anus. squeeze both of these areas a few times and a smelly pus-like substance should come out (be sure and have some paper towels or gauze pads ready, and wear gloves!).
but if you're not sure, definitely have a groomer or vet show you first.

You really should be shown this in person before ever attempting it yourself. You could cause injury to your dog if you don't know what you're doing. Never would I do it myself, I'll pay someone else should that need ever arise!

Your dog groomer can show you how to do this.
(You couldn't pay me enough to ever do this myself)
