Show Mac dock on all screens

So I have bought the new 15" Macbook Pro and two LG Ultrafine 5K montors and I really enjoy the setup. But there is one ting tha is disturbing. I have set up separate spaces on all three screens, but the Dock only shows up on my laptop screen. And its annoying when whoeking on the big screens in highest resolution.

In my previous setup with a iMac and two older Apple 22" monitors I had the Dock on all screens (Sierrra). But not now. Have anyone out there the same problem or a sollution?


Best regards

I agree with dwb, however there is a bit more to the story. I had a similar problem as the original poster. Indeed you cannot have the dock CONSTANTLY VISIBLE on more than one display at a time. But if you check the "Automatically show and hide the Dock" box (in System Preferences > Dock), the dock should be available on all screens when you mouse to the bottom. As far as I know this will only work if you also place the dock on the bottom of the display. This reduces the lag time for the Dock to appear instead of having to wait those few seconds for it to jump over from the primary display. Good luck!
