What you think about my dog? :)
So I just bought him a few toys amd look how happy he is.
I also bought him a tug war toy thing, not sure what they're called but he wont play with it? I tried getting my other dog to play so he'd see what it's for, but he still didn't wanna play with it, so i hide the ball so he'd pay more attention to the tug war toy but he didn't want it?

He's gorgeous!
If he's never learnt how to play you might need to take it slowly - one toy at a time. If he's never seen a tug toy & has maybe been hit in the past for pulling on something it might take a while for him to realise that he can have a good tug game with you.
He'll get there.

He played a little bit with the other dog but after a minute or so he stopped, he'll start playing with it soon hopefully.

I think all he needs is a little time and to know that it is okay.

Re: What you think about my dog? :)
Alright thank you.
I'll just keep trying to get him to play tug war with my other dog, or should i just try get him to play with it on his own? Which one would be the best idea? Because on his own he simply walks by it without even paying attention when the other dog is playing with it, from time to time he goes there and tries to get it off him. lol

It might be better if you try & play with him first - if you take one end of the toy & try to entice him to take the other - try & make your voice sound excited so he knows it's ok.
Once he knows it's fun he might play with your other dog as well.

What if he still walks away should i try call him and try again or just leave him and try later? I never know if I should keep trying or just leave him for a bit.

Take it slowly. If he doesn't show any interest after you've made yourself look a complete plank with all the excited talking, then just go back to the ball for a while. Keep trying every so often & he'll get there.

Agree with the others in saying taking it easy, give him some space and let him know you love him, He will understand that cuddles are important. You'll be fine together it just takes some time to figure each other out that's all.

Agree with what everyone else has said, it sounds like he just needs to go at a slow pace because he's not used to so many things. Give him some time and take it easy with him, I'm sure he'll eventually realise how much fun tug-of-war toys are

Re: What you think about my dog? :)
some dogs just aren't playing inclined like that. buster will play with me and th oh but will stop as soon as we stop so he never plays on his own which we thinks is a shame but it's never seemed to bother him.
