Teaching a dog to engage in play with you is harder with lots of dogs than many people realize, but it's time well-spent for both the dog and the owner. However, tugging is NOT the only form of play that involves engagement, it can reinforce behaviors you don't want or need to reinforce in dogs with other issues, it can cause or exacerbate physical problems for both the dog and the handler, and for some dogs, tugging is simply NOT a motivator. Other types of play, on the other hand, can always be used to reinforce the behaviors you want, can be designed to be safe and not aggravate physical problems, and can sooner or later, in some form, always become a motivator--if the trainer cares to take the time to find the type of play that works for the tug-challenged dog.
