My dog Maddy is afraid of balls, frisbees, and pretty much any other toys that most dogs log to fetch and play with. (She may have been abused as a puppy). He favorite toys are actually cat toys! She loves the soft, tiny stuffed mice and balls. They are very non-threatening, and the throws them in the air and catches them herself. Even if they hit her right in the face, it doesn't hurt.

Just wanted to add that I think the many versions of treat dispensing toys are awesome. My Weimaraner Lola has a Buster Cube. I can feed her an entire meal out of it, and she has to work to get every bite of kibble. It gives her both physical and mental exercise. She has this one because others were too easy for her, but my other dog TK won't touch it. There are several versions of treat dispensing toys that range in difficulty.

If you've got a dog that l-o-v-e-s to fetch, you've got to try a "Launch-a-ball." It's this long handled scoop-like toy that you use to throw a tennis ball. It allows you to throw a ball super long distances, with a lot less effort. You'll need a big open area for this one, but they are super cool to watch and use!
