Rightpawed or Leftpawed??

Are dogs rightpawed or leftpawed? Just like humans, dogs tend to favour one paw over the other. Studies show that the majority of dogs are rightpawed. How can you tell with your dog? There's a very easy test: when you ask your dog to sit and give you his/her paw, which one does he/she offer? 8 out of 10 times it will be the right paw...

Next time you're throwing a frisbee for your dog to retrieve, watch which way he/she prefers to turn. It's usually to the right, rather than to the left. Or when you have to buy something at the corner store and tie your dog up at the telephone pole or tree, watch which direction he/she tends to wrap around the pole. Most dogs will circle the pole to the right...
