If he's afraid of the toys then you might try something different. If you've tried everything then just leave the toys laying around and eventually he may show interest. Until then it is not a good idea to try and force him to play or chase him around with the toys. Be patient and let him decided when to play with the toys. One thing you could try is to scent his toys with food or a treat. There is a cool toy called a "kong" and you can put soft or hard treats in it. Most dogs love this toy.

Definitely you have to give it some time to adjust to the new surroundings. The best advice is to bring it to dog school and get it socializing with other dogs so it can see what a normal dog is suppose to do. Also get a bunch of different toys and leave them on the floor and play with them yourself in front of the dog and it will figure out that toys are to play with. It will take more time to teach the dog than a puppy but any dog can learn new things with time and lots and lots and lots of patients. Hope this helps! P.S. don't forget dog school

My dog's a scaredy too, but not with toys or anything. I suggest you coax him with a treat attached to the toy or you can buy certain toys that come with a spray food to put inside (think of a whipcream can). Hope I helped some!
