How Do I Choose Which Screen the Dock Appears In?

I use two screens. How can I control which one will have the dock?
Thanks!

I prefer to have the dock on a certain screen.

    If the Dock is on the other screen, just move your pointer down to the bottom of the screen you want it on, and continue to drag "down" until the Dock appears. This happens quickly on a regular Desktop space, but it takes a second or two longer on a "Full Screen" window space.

    I also use two screens. I have the Dock on screen 1. However, every so often the Dock randomly moves of its own accord to screen 2. To put it back on screen 1, I go to System Settings > Display and Dock > Position on screen, select Left, Dock then goes to left on screen 1, i then select bottom and it's back where it was.

    My question: what can I do to stop Dock moving randonly of its own accord?

    Michael: It shouldn't ever randomly change. But it does change when you move your pointer to the bottom of the other screen and rest it there for a few seconds. That's the normal behavior and it can feel random if you don't notice that you move your pointer there to get it out of the way or something. Just do the same to get it back: move it to the right screen, "push" into the bottom and hold it there for a few seconds.
