My dog won't play with toys. How can I make her active and playful?

Question

My dog doesn’t play with any toys. She sniffs and then leaves them alone. How can I make her enjoy them more and actually want to play instead of sleeping all day? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 2 years and 8 months old | 64 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is very dependent on the dogs in terms of how much they enjoy playing with toys. Some dogs just do not enjoy that and will not play with them as much. You can try to get other toys to see if Ginger becomes interested but ultimately she may decide to not use them and that is not necessarily an issue. Have a good night!
