What type of toys are you using?
My Jazzy (a 4 yo Shih Tzu) I got as a rescue when she was 3 yo. We had dog toys and bones for her, but she never played with them. I just chalked it up to she had never learned to play with toys.
After we had her about 2 months, one day she came running out of my daughter's room with a stuffed animal--all excited! I made a big deal out of it and threw the stuffed animal and Jazzy immediately fetched it and brought it back--all excited. We then discovered she did not like any type of toy that made any type of noise. She also only likes soft, fuzzy toys. Since this discovery, she has not stopped playing with toys. She now has a toy bin full of her "type" of toys. We also discovered that while she could care less about the rubber type dog bones or Greenies, she loves pigs ears, bully sticks and raw hide bones.
My 4 month old Yorkie--Mickey, will play with anything. She loves toys that squeak and make noise, while poor Jazzy runs for cover.
Maybe you have not found your dogs "type" of toy yet??? |
