Open Question: Is it normal for a dog not to want to play with toys at all?

My dog doesn’t care for toys at all, she doesn’t play with stuffed animals, and doesn’t pay attention to squeaky toys, she acted playful with a ball before, but when I tried to encourage her she sort of lost her attention with it. I’m training her and I wanted to try to get her to play with a toy or something, to play with her, but she really doesn’t seem interested. Do other dogs do that? I wanted to get her to do tricks for me just because she wants to, and i thought playing with her would be a good way, but she’d prefer to sleep in my lap or something, is there anything I can do to get her to do things like sit or stay for me just because she wants to, not because I have a treat?
