Yes. Scooting is almost always a sign something is irritating your dog.
Some of the most common reasons dogs drag their bottom include:
1. Anal Sac Problems.
2. Parasite/worms.
3. Fecal contamination/diarrhea.
When was last Vets check up , shots , fecal test?
What dog food do you feed?
Is your dog on Heart Worm Prevention meds , if yes, which one? Do you use flea prevention product , if yes , which one?
Could you say dog breed , age , weight?

My beagles occasionally scooch their butts and it is usually a mild irritation from loose poop or something. But if they do it alot and seem very uncomfortable I get them checked for worms or anal gland issues. If there is a foul odor when the dog scooches, it will most likely be anal gland related.
