+ add your ownJajaja wonderful, thanks!
right mostly with my dog Tian, but he does occasionally do things with both. he can give each paw on command as the most common one, depends if he's lying down or sitting/up and about!
bobbie lefty, ginger lefty, amber both.
Most cats are either left-pawed or ambidextrous.
noted.
Interesting!!!Thanks for posting! I'll try this with my cats :-)
I've heard cats are mostly lefties, although they can use either paw just fine, so its only a small preference.
definitely right handed. i taught him to shake hands for treats. i can't get a hold of the left but he offers up the right every time
Omar.....a lefty......
tried with my three dogs, lab was 50:50! other two wouldn't play along but thanks for sharing :)
