How do I teach a puppy to sit?
To teach sit, prepare treats or a toy as a reward and train in a quiet, open space. Hold the treat near the dog's face and move it up to draw attention; as the head lifts, press the rump down with your other hand and say "sit." Reward immediately when it sits; with repetition it sits on command.

From your description and photo, the dog's anus is swollen and uncomfortable. If it scooted before the swelling, the scooting may have caused it; if it scoots after, it may be a polyp. Anal polyps cause few abnormalities but untreated can lead to difficulty defecating. Surgical removal is best; if swelling worsens or other symptoms appear, see a vet.
