You can only have the dock on one or the other. You can move the dock to the external monitor in the System Preference though.

you have to change the display settings , go into system preferences , then "monitors" or "display", i don't exactly remember but you should find it easily, then you have to change the configuration of what is displayed on each screen , for that you got an option that will display a schema of both your screen and you're able to move the white top bar that is inside your main screen to the other one .

The screen with the white top bar will be the one that will display both the dock and the white top bar

i hope you will understand me but it's pretty hard to explain it , as i don't have my mac in front of me , and english is not my mother language

i understand how to setup the screen positions, mirroring etc. I've been running a external monitor for nearly 3 years and this has never happened.

Thanks

there are software that allows you to customize dock , you may try to use one and then restore the original dock
