Expressing the glands too frequently can cause problems too. It really depends on your dog. Even a gentle massage with a warm wash cloth can help to keep the glands healthy and that you could do once a week. It also gives you a chance to check the glands out and see how they are doing. You can feel inside and judge the size of the glands to determine how they are functioning. Buy yourself some disposable surgical gloves and use a light lubricant to help.
