This is usually a sign of one of two things.
Either she has impacted anal glands, and they need manual squeezing out - a dog groomer or veterinary nurse can do this.
Or - she has fleas and this is the area that she cannot actually scratch, so she is nibbling instead.
The first is the most likely.

Or perhaps a third malady...worms. Confirm at a Vet or get and over-the-counter de-worm...not to be confused with Dean Wormer.

If we cannot find a cause and the vet thinks it is something obsessive - could we try using that nail biter bitter stuff so that the dog won't like the taste? Would it be safe?
