Can you teach an adult dog to play?
I was adopted by a mature Akita/Chow Mix last July. She is very well trained, gets along with cats, other dogs, kids. etc. She doesn't bark, will not take food from kids, not even treats. The vet thinks she is about 6-8 yrs old. I know nothing of her background, other than the fact that she had heartworms when she came to us and has now been cured. But she doesn't play with toys. I've tried, balls, toys with treats in them, chew toys, every thing I can think of and she acts like she doesn't know what to do with them, or thinks she shouldn't touch them. Her greatest pleasure is going for walks, but I would love to find something to entertain her in between walks. Any suggestions appreciated.

I'm still looking for evidence that you can write a post without insulting others. It is you that keeps this fight alive now. All others here have been quite civil with you following my initial intervention, but you just won't quit the fight…
Yes, but when they come in here disrupting the site and the behavior that got them banned in the first place continues... it's a mess.
But wow, as a banned member, you come in here and post innocent peoples' email addresses in a public forum? This…
Wow, they sure do need some help!
As I do not know the history of the farm and have not dealt with this specific organization, I would not feel very confident to donate, but I do send hopes that the farm and animals are getting assisted to rebuild…

I just want this site back. I just want this site to return to normal.. to return to discussions about animals. I want anyone who was banned from here to stay away and respect those of us that weren't banned.
Why is this such a hard concept? And no…
