Is your dog right or left pawed?

[BC_MoM]

Mickey's very left pawed, but still does things with his right.. I guess he's ambidextrous just like Nova.

I really don't know I don't psy attention. I usually just say right paw or left paw and he gives me his paw, or other paw.

I haven't noticed a definate preference for most of them, except when they are working. I actually have a list who runs on which side of the gangline. Pacer absolutely can not run on the left. He has to be on the right. Antare is a lefty as is Pingo. Most of the sled dogs have a strong preference for one side.

it seems a lot of my dogs are right pawed. I am right handed, too.

[Ginger's Mom]

I am not sure that Ginger has a preference. Shake and high five she uses her left paw (but I am right-handed), but digging or reaching for something, I think she will use her right paw first (then both if she still doesn't get what she wants). My RB girl was very definitely left-pawed.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I'm not sure, they seem to use both paws equally.

There is actually a simple way to see if they are left or right pawed. I was told that the direction the dog turns when it gos into a crate is usually its "dominate paw" and they will usually only turn one direction

Star seems to be ambidextrous, if you ask her to shake, she usually offers her left paw first, then offers you her right paw. sherman doesn't shake, but he seems to prefer hanging out on Star's right side when we walk together. I was just noticing this yesterday!
