what about soft, cuddly, stuffed toys like you would give to a baby.
All my dogs had a soft mouth and really enjoyed vigorously shaking and
stomping on the soft toys. My dogs have had everything from full size
teddy bears to little ones. We had baskets of them. My last dog
would carry a stuffed animal to the door when someone came to visit.
He'd also take it to bed with him and use it as a pillow. I just gave
the last of them away to a new rescue pup in the neighborhood.

=====================

Did you have them from pups? Poppy never chases or carries anything. I can
see she has never played with anything at all until she came to us. It is
worth a try though so I will find a soft toy for her and she what we can do
with it.

Thanks for the idea
