fraggle 4 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Any ideas on a way to actualey get the puppy to play lol, had him home a week now and he is now 16 weeks old, thing is he just wont play. He has no interest in toys, and tried loads lol. Occasionaly he will rag a teddy in his cage for ten seconds then sacks it, and out the cage he wont even acknowledge a toy. i'm putting it down to him still adjusting to his new home, but dam i hope he starts to play soon or teachig a retrieve is gona be hard as he wont chase any toys. Any tips Thanks all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skellyb 8 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) 15 weeks is a bit late to be taking a pup. Whats he like with other dogs? Will he gnaw on a bone or show interst in kong type toy? Is he interested in you or simple commands like sit? Edited March 10, 2010 by skellyb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fraggle 4 Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 fine with other dogs, only reason i took him late is due to work, so the breeder held on to him till i was ready. He ansews to simple commands ie sit. He will chew a bone and show interest in a kong ball yes. I know its not bonding to a degree as he is asleep on the sofa next to me with his head on my arm.

Cold Ethyl 63 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 My male dog never chased or looked at a toy till very recently and he would have been two when he did.Never chased a ball in his puff till then but he retrieves.Wouldnt worry to much try a rabbit pelt or summit so hes got the scent and maybe be a bit more interesting to him Quote Link to post Share on other sites
