Thank you.
Yeah, he didn't really get what we were going for. I wouldn't stick it in his face or anything, but I would offer a toy to him, and he might sniff it before turning away. I would also drag them around in front of him and he was just bored as hell with it.
I just gave it some time, I figured he was adjusting. He was still coming out of his shell in a lot of ways (as I mentioned earlier, he gradually began eating more, he also warmed up to certain people and places). Even now, two months later, he's still presenting new behaviors now and then.
Do you have a few different types of toys for her? We had a plush squeaky, a rope bone, and tennis balls. He likes some more than others. He still doesn't really care about the rope bone. One of the first ones he kinda played with was the plush squeaky toy, we tied it on a string and dragged it around while we ran. Even though he was interested and chased a bit, he was still uncertain. After we had him about a week we got him a nylabone, which I think he liked because it was chicken flavored.
What's more, Mumble came from his breeder's home, where he was played with all the time. Your pup is coming from a shelter which is even more change.
I really think this is just something you need to wait on. Offer play now and then, but don't push it. I think she'll warm up.
