Default Puppy skiddish and won't play?

I got Missy when she was 12 weeks old, she's 7 months old now, and she is unlike any other Yorkie I've ever owned. She's very skittish. She'll come over to be petted and when I reach my hand down to pet her, her ears go back and she cowers flat to the floor. We have never spanked her or anything like that so I have no idea why she's so hand-shy. She also won't play with toys at all. She has many different types and styles of lovies, chew toys, treat-dispensing toys, balls etc. and won't play with a single one (alone or with me). I'm concerned that all she does all day is sleep and nap. Every once in a while she'll go outside and run around but that's about it. I took her to the vet thinking something was wrong and that's why she wasn't playing but he says she perfectly healthy. Every other Yorkie I've had was well into the "zoomies" stage by now.
I'm also having some trouble with training because she won't eat treats! Nothing, not training treats, biscuits, rawhide, not even cheese, pieces of cooked chicken breast, carrots or Cheerios. I have an entire cabinet in my kitchen just filled with rejected treats


Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated! I love Missy to death, but she sure is difficult!
