When I offer a tug toy, she'll just chew (constantly adjusting her grip) on the end closest to her but doesn't clamp down. I don't know if it's something wrong with her mouth or bite so that she can't clamp down, or whether she's just not interested in tugging? We have a couple of different toys, a plush duck with a rope for a tail, a ball attached to a rope, a kong wubba octopus, etc. None of them have gotten her to clamp down on it for more than a couple seconds. If I try to shake the toy or pull on it even a little bit, she'll just drop it. Then try to chew it again.
Onyx will tug sometimes with me but also constantly adjusting his grip it's like he is trying to get a better grip on it to pull more.
