The Best Recall Training Treats: How to Choose Rewards That Bring Your Dog Back
Teaching your dog to come back when called is one of the most important skills you can work on — but reliable recall becomes much harder once exciting smells, other dogs, wildlife and open spaces enter the picture.
That’s where choosing the right reward can make a huge difference. The best recall training treats need to be more exciting than the distractions competing for your dog’s attention. Small, soft,premium reward treats can help make returning to you feel genuinely worthwhile.
In this guide, we’ll explain what makes a good recall reward, which types of treats work best, how to match the value of the reward to the difficulty of the environment, and how to avoid common mistakes that can weaken your dog’s recall.
🐾 Quick Answer
The best recall training treats are small, soft, highly rewarding and quick to eat. Recall often asks your dog to leave something exciting behind, so the reward you offer needs to compete with the environment. Irresistible reward meat treats, pâté and other strongly scented rewards can be especially useful when practising recall around distractions.
Why Recall Training Needs Better Rewards
A reliable recall could one day save your dog's life. Whether it's preventing them from running towards a busy road, chasing wildlife or disappearing after an interesting scent, teaching your dog to come back when called is one of the most valuable skills they'll ever learn.
But recall is also one of the hardest behaviours to teach successfully. Unlike asking your dog to sit in your living room, you're often asking them to stop doing something they already find incredibly rewarding. That might be playing with another dog, following an exciting smell or running freely across an open field.
From your dog's perspective, choosing to return to you means giving up something they enjoy. If the reward you offer isn't valuable enough, the environment may simply be more appealing.
That's why successful recall training isn't just about carrying treats. It's about choosing high-value recall rewards that are worth returning for. As distractions become more difficult, you may need to increase the value of the reward you offer.
🐾 PetBuddy Insight
Think of recall as making your dog an offer. If you're asking them to leave something exciting behind, your reward needs to represent a genuinely worthwhile alternative.
For some dogs, a normal biscuit might work perfectly in the kitchen but have very little value when compared with squirrels, other dogs or an interesting scent outdoors.
This is why the same dog can appear to have an excellent recall at home and suddenly seem to “forget” everything once they reach the park.
The behaviour hasn't necessarily disappeared — the competition for their attention has simply become much stronger.
Think of recall as a competition between your reward and everything happening in the environment.

Match the Reward to the Challenge
The bigger the distraction, the better the reward may need to be. Make coming back to you feel worth choosing.
What Makes a Great Recall Training Treat?
The best recall training treats have one job: to make coming back to you
feel more rewarding than whatever your dog was doing before you called them.
That doesn't mean you need to carry huge pieces of food or the richest treat you can find. A great recall reward is usually high value, strongly scented, soft, small and quick to eat. Most importantly, it needs to be something your dog genuinely wants.
When you're practising recall outdoors, these details matter. A hard biscuit that takes a long time to chew can interrupt the rhythm of the session, while a tiny piece of soft, aromatic meat can be delivered and eaten almost immediately.
High Reward Value
Your dog should consider the treat worth leaving a distraction for. If an ordinary biscuit works perfectly indoors but becomes invisible in the park, you may need to increase the value of the reward.
Strong Aroma
Dogs experience much of the world through scent, so an aromatic reward can be especially useful outdoors. Meat-based treats, pâté and other naturally fragrant foods are often more tempting than a dry everyday biscuit.
Soft & Quick to Eat
Recall treats should be eaten quickly so you can reward your dog and continue the session without a long chewing break. Softer treats are also often easier to divide into smaller pieces.
Small Enough for Repetition
Recall improves through successful repetition, which can mean giving many rewards during a single walk or training session. Tiny pieces allow you to reward generously without needing to give a full-sized treat every time.
Practical to Carry
The perfect training reward isn't much use if it's difficult to take on a walk. Recall treats should fit easily into a treat pouch and be simple to reach the moment your dog returns.
Suitable for Your Individual Dog
Recall treats still need to suit your dog's diet. Consider their age, normal food intake, allergies, sensitivities and any dietary advice you've been given for them.
High Value Is Personal to Your Dog
"High value" isn't a particular ingredient or type of treat. It describes how valuable your dog finds that reward.
One dog may do almost anything for chicken, while another prefers rabbit, duck, pâté or even a favourite toy. Pay attention to the reward that makes your dog immediately turn towards you — that's the reward that belongs near the top of their personal reward hierarchy.
The Ideal Recall Treat Scorecard
How does your current training treat measure up?
The 5-Second Recall Treat Test
Before taking a reward on your next recall session, ask yourself:
Start somewhere quiet and watch how your dog responds. As the environment becomes more distracting, you may need to move further up their personal reward hierarchy.
So which foods tick all of these boxes? Next, we'll compare the best types of recall training treats, from soft natural meat treats and pâté to freeze-dried rewards and fresh food — including where each option works best.
The Best Types of Recall Training Treats
So, what are the best treats for recall training?
There isn't one single treat that works for every dog. The best choice depends on what your dog loves, how distracting the environment is and how difficult the recall is. A reward that works brilliantly in the garden may not be exciting enough when your dog is running through woodland or playing with another dog.
For most dogs, the strongest recall rewards fall into a few useful categories: soft natural meat treats, meat pâté, fresh cooked meat, freeze-dried meat, dried meat treats and selected everyday training treats.
Each has its own strengths. Here's how they compare.
Best Recall Treats at a Glance
Match the type of reward to the difficulty of the recall.
1. Soft Natural Meat Training Treats
For everyday recall training, soft natural meat treats are one of the best places to start. They're typically aromatic, easy to break into small pieces and quick for your dog to eat, which makes them particularly useful for repeated training.
Proteins such as chicken, duck, rabbit, beef, turkey and venison can all work well, but don't assume your dog will value them equally. Experiment with different proteins and notice which one produces the strongest response.
- Easy to cut or break into tiny pieces
- Usually quick to eat
- Meaty aroma can increase reward value
- Convenient enough for everyday walks
- Different proteins make it easy to add variety
- Reward value varies between dogs
- Check ingredients if your dog has sensitivities
- Very dry or firm pieces may need breaking up first
2. Meat Pâté
Meat pâté can make an excellent high-value recall reward because it combines several features we want from a training treat: a strong smell, soft texture and the ability to divide it into very small pieces.
A slice of dog-friendly pâté can be cut into dozens of tiny cubes before a walk, allowing you to deliver a highly desirable reward without giving your dog a large amount each time.
It's particularly useful when you need something more exciting than your normal training treats.
- Strong aroma
- Soft and quick to eat
- Easy to cut into tiny training portions
- Can feel more special than an everyday treat
- Useful for higher-distraction environments
- Can be messier than dry treats
- May need to be stored appropriately
- Check the ingredients and feeding guidance
PetBuddy Tip: Don't Use Your Best Reward for Everything
If your dog absolutely loves pâté, rabbit or another particular treat, consider keeping it for your most important behaviours rather than handing it out throughout the day.
That can help preserve its value as a special recall reward.
3. Fresh Cooked Chicken or Other Plain Meat
There's a reason cooked chicken is so often suggested as a high-value dog training reward: many dogs find it considerably more exciting than their everyday food.
Tiny pieces of plain cooked chicken, turkey or another suitable meat can be particularly useful when you're moving recall training into a much more distracting environment.
You don't necessarily need it for every recall. Instead, fresh meat can sit near the top of your dog's reward hierarchy and be used when you need an exceptionally strong reward.
- Many dogs consider fresh meat extremely valuable
- Soft and very quick to eat
- Easy to cut into tiny pieces
- Excellent option for occasional jackpot rewards
- Less convenient than shelf-stable treats
- Needs suitable food handling and storage
- Use plain meat without sauces, seasoning or unsafe ingredients
4. Freeze-Dried Meat Treats
Freeze-dried meat treats are another useful option for recall training, particularly if you want a meat-based reward that's easy to carry.
Products made primarily from meat can offer plenty of flavour without the mess of fresh meat or pâté. Depending on the product, pieces can often be divided into smaller training-sized rewards.
Freeze-dried liver is one example commonly used as a high-value reward, but chicken, beef and other proteins may be available too.
- Lightweight and portable
- Meat-based options can be highly rewarding
- Less messy than fresh food
- Convenient for longer walks
- Some varieties crumble easily
- Texture may be drier than soft training treats
- Reward value still depends on the individual dog
5. Dried or Air-Dried Meat Treats
Small pieces of dried or air-dried meat can offer a good compromise between reward value and practicality.
They tend to be easier to carry than fresh meat while still providing the meaty flavour many dogs enjoy. Softer varieties are generally better suited to recall training than very hard pieces because your dog can eat them more quickly.
Single-protein options can also make it easier to select a reward that fits dogs with particular dietary requirements or protein preferences.
- Easy to carry on walks
- Often naturally aromatic
- Available in a wide range of proteins
- Can be less messy than pâté or fresh meat
- Choose pieces that can be eaten quickly
- Very chewy pieces are better used as chews than recall rewards
- Break larger pieces down before your training session
6. Everyday Training Treats
High value doesn't have to mean maximum value every time.
In your home, garden or another low-distraction environment, your dog's ordinary training treats may be more than enough. Using these easier situations to practise recall allows you to save your very best rewards for moments when you genuinely need them.
Soft training treats are generally more useful for repeated recall work than large biscuits because they can be delivered and eaten quickly.
- Convenient for frequent practice
- Useful in low-distraction environments
- Allows higher-value foods to remain special
- Easy to keep ready for short training sessions
- May not compete with exciting outdoor distractions
- Don't keep increasing distance or difficulty if your reward has lost its value
🧀 What About Cheese or Sausage for Recall Training?
Cheese and sausage are frequently suggested as high-value dog training rewards because many dogs find them extremely appealing. They may therefore work very well for some dogs during recall training.
However, something being highly desirable doesn't automatically make it the best everyday training option. Rich foods can add calories quickly and may not suit every dog's digestion or diet.
If you use them, keep the pieces very small, choose options suitable for your dog and consider using them as an occasional higher-value reward rather than assuming they need to be used for every recall.
Try a Recall Reward Rotation
Your dog doesn't need to receive the same treat every time.
Rotating rewards can help you match the payment to the difficulty of the recall while keeping particularly valuable foods special.
Choosing Recall Treats for Puppies, Sensitive Dogs and Small Breeds
The basic rules for choosing a recall reward stay the same, but the best option should also suit the individual dog.
Puppies
Choose very small, easy-to-eat rewards and keep training sessions short. Soft treats can be particularly convenient when you're doing lots of repetitions.
Sensitive Stomachs
Consider simpler treats containing a protein your dog already tolerates. Single-protein options can make ingredients easier to keep track of.
Small Dogs
Break rewards down even further. A piece that looks tiny to us can still represent a substantial mouthful for a very small dog.
Less Food-Motivated Dogs
Experiment with different foods, but remember that food isn't the only possible reward. A favourite toy, game or access to something your dog loves may sometimes be more valuable.
If You Only Carry Two Recall Rewards...
Everyday High-Value Reward
Carry a soft natural meat training treat that your dog loves for normal recall practice.
Jackpot Reward
Keep something even more exciting — such as pâté or your dog's favourite special reward — for particularly difficult recalls.
This gives you somewhere to move up when the environment becomes more challenging.
The answer depends on where you're training. A treat that works in your living room may have almost no pulling power in a woodland full of wildlife and interesting scents.
Next, we'll look at how to match your recall reward to the level of distraction — and build your dog's own recall reward ladder
Matching Recall Treats to the Level of Distraction
One of the biggest mistakes in recall training is expecting the same reward to work everywhere. Your dog's favourite everyday treat may be perfectly motivating in the kitchen but much less interesting when they're surrounded by other dogs, wildlife, new smells and open space.
Instead of thinking of a treat as simply “high value” or “low value”, it can be more useful to think about relative value: how rewarding is that treat compared with everything else available to your dog at that moment?
As the environment becomes more exciting, either the reward needs to become more valuable, the training exercise needs to become easier — or both.
Don't keep making the recall harder while expecting your dog to work for the same reward.
Your Dog's Reward Value Can Change by Location
Imagine your dog loves a particular chicken training treat.
At home, that treat may be more than enough to make them run towards you. In the garden, it may still work brilliantly. But in a busy park where another dog is playing nearby, the same piece of chicken may suddenly have much more competition.
That doesn't necessarily mean your dog has become stubborn or forgotten their training. It may simply mean you've moved into an environment where the distractions are currently more rewarding than the payment you're offering.
One Dog. Five Environments. Different Reward Values.
PetBuddy Insight: These Levels Aren't Fixed
A quiet park might be easy for one dog and incredibly exciting for another. Likewise, chicken may be a jackpot reward for one dog but only mildly interesting to another.
Your dog's behaviour tells you how difficult the environment is. Adjust the reward and the exercise to the dog in front of you rather than following a rigid formula.
How Do You Know When Your Recall Reward Isn't Valuable Enough?
Your dog can't tell you that your reward needs upgrading — but their behaviour often can.
Watch for signs that the current exercise has become too difficult:
Your cue may be competing with something they currently value more.
They may be conflicted between your reward and the distraction.
Excitement or distraction may currently be too high for productive training.
The environment may currently hold much greater value.
Important: A Better Treat Isn't Always the Answer
If your dog repeatedly struggles to respond, don't simply keep producing tastier and tastier food.
The training situation may be too difficult. Move further away from the distraction, shorten the recall distance, return to a long line in a suitable safe area or practise somewhere quieter before trying again.
Good recall training builds difficulty gradually. Success should come before progression.The Recall Reward Ladder
A useful way to plan your recall training is to create a reward ladder — a personal scale that matches increasingly difficult environments with increasingly valuable rewards.
The idea isn't that every dog must follow these exact levels. Instead, use the ladder as a starting point and adjust it according to what your dog finds easy, difficult and rewarding.
Build Your Dog's Recall Reward Ladder
Start easy. Increase distractions gradually. Raise the reward when you need to.
Take the Recall Reward Guide on Your Next Walk
We've turned the key points from this guide into a simple one-page Recall Training Checklist you can save to your phone or print for your training kit.
How to Use the Recall Reward Ladder
Before each training session, ask yourself two questions:
How difficult is this environment for my dog?
Think about distance, wildlife, dogs, people, smells, movement and anything else that tends to capture your dog's attention.
What reward is genuinely worth returning for here?
Choose something your dog values enough for the situation rather than automatically reaching for the same treat on every walk.
If recall starts to deteriorate as you move up the ladder, don't treat it as a failure. It simply tells you that you've found the point where the exercise currently becomes too difficult.
Drop back a level, rebuild several successful recalls and progress more gradually.
Change One Thing at a Time
Recall becomes harder when several challenges increase together.
Instead of increasing everything at once, make one element harder while keeping the others manageable. This gives your dog a much better chance of succeeding.
How to Use a Recall Jackpot
Sometimes one tiny treat doesn't quite reflect how important or difficult a successful recall was. That's where a recall jackpot can be useful.
A jackpot is simply a reward that's noticeably better than your dog's normal payment. It might mean several small treats delivered one after another, a particularly special food, an exciting game or another reward your dog absolutely loves.
The Recall Jackpot
Make exceptional recalls feel exceptionally worthwhile.
Deliver several tiny rewards one after another rather than one larger piece.
Use something from the very top of your dog's personal reward hierarchy.
For toy-motivated dogs, a quick game can sometimes be more valuable than food.
When appropriate and safe, reward the recall and then allow your dog to return to exploring.
When Should You Use a Recall Jackpot?
You don't need to jackpot every successful recall. It works best as an occasional extra-special reward.
Your dog leaves an exciting interaction and comes straight back.
They disengage from a particularly tempting distraction.
They respond immediately to an important recall.
They successfully recall in a new or significantly more difficult environment.
Don't Let “Come Back” Always Mean “The Fun Is Over”
If you only call your dog when you're about to clip on the lead, leave the park or end their play, they may start predicting what happens next.
During training, practise calling your dog back, rewarding them generously and — where it's safe and appropriate — releasing them to continue exploring or playing.
Coming back to you doesn't always have to mean losing access to something enjoyable.
Rewarding Recall Isn't the Same as Bribing
There's an important difference between rewarding your dog for coming back and showing them food first in an attempt to persuade them to return.
During established recall training, the cue should come first. Your dog responds, reaches you and then receives the reward.
Recall cue → dog comes back → reward appears.
Show food → dog sees it → dog decides whether to come.
Build recall gradually and use a lead or long line where appropriate while your dog is learning. Don't deliberately test an unreliable recall in unsafe situations simply to see whether a better treat will work.
Even the best recall training treats can't compensate for training habits that accidentally weaken your recall cue.
Next, we'll look at the most common recall reward mistakes — including repeating the cue, rewarding too slowly and accidentally teaching your dog that coming back means the walk is over.
```html
Common Recall Reward Mistakes
Even when you're using excellent recall training treats, a few common habits can make your dog's recall less reliable over time.
The problem isn't always the treat itself. Sometimes it's when you call, how quickly you reward, what happens after your dog returns, or whether the exercise has become too difficult.
If your dog's recall seems inconsistent, check whether any of these mistakes could be getting in the way.
Repeating the Recall Cue
Calling “come, come, come” repeatedly can teach your dog that the first cue doesn't really matter. Over time, they may learn that they don't need to respond until you've said it several times.
Calling When You're Almost Certain They'll Ignore You
If your dog is completely absorbed in chasing, playing or following a scent, repeatedly testing an unreliable recall can weaken the cue.
Every unsuccessful repetition gives your dog another opportunity to practise not responding.
Rewarding Too Slowly
Timing matters. If your dog returns to you and then waits while you search through a bag or open a packet, the reward becomes less closely connected with the behaviour you wanted.
Only Rewarding the Fastest Recalls
It's tempting to reward only when your dog flies back immediately. But if your dog eventually chooses to leave a distraction and return to you, punishing or ignoring that decision can make returning less rewarding.
Using Recall Only When the Fun Is About to End
If “come” always means the lead goes on, play stops or it's time to go home, your dog may begin to hesitate.
From their perspective, returning to you starts predicting the loss of something enjoyable.
Showing the Treat Before Your Dog Responds
If your dog only comes back after seeing food in your hand, they may start responding to the sight of the treat rather than the recall cue itself.
Moving to Difficult Environments Too Quickly
A dog who recalls beautifully in the garden isn't automatically ready to perform the same behaviour beside other dogs, wildlife or busy footpaths.
Using a Reward Your Dog Doesn't Actually Value
We can decide that a treat looks special, healthy or expensive — but only your dog decides whether it's worth returning for.
Making Every Recall Reward Exactly the Same
If every recall earns one identical piece of food, the outcome can become very predictable. Variety can help you make especially good recalls feel more worthwhile.
Expecting Better Treats to Fix a Training Problem
Food is a powerful training tool, but there is a limit to what a tastier reward can solve. If your dog is repeatedly unable to respond, the environment may simply be too difficult.
Never Make Coming Back to You Feel Like a Mistake
Even if your dog took longer than you hoped, avoid scolding them once they reach you. From your dog's perspective, the important thing that just happened was “I came back to my person.”
Make that decision worth repeating.
My Dog Isn't Coming Back — What Should I Change?
Reduce the distraction or increase your distance from it.
Make the next repetition easier and review your reward value.
The environment may be too exciting, or food may not be the strongest reward in that moment.
Add intermediate environments rather than jumping straight to difficult outdoor recalls.
Practise rewarding at your feet and briefly engaging with you before releasing them again.
Hide the reward until after your dog responds to the recall cue.
Call when your dog has a realistic chance of succeeding, reward the behaviour you want, increase distractions gradually and make returning to you consistently worthwhile.
Even with the right rewards and a good training plan, owners often have questions about how often to give treats, whether recall rewards should eventually be phased out and what to use for puppies or dogs that aren't highly food motivated.
Next, we'll answer the most common questions about recall training treats and rewards.
Frequently Asked Questions About Recall Training Treats
Choosing the right reward can make a big difference to recall training, but owners often have questions about how valuable treats should be, how often to use them and whether food rewards should eventually be phased out.
What are the best treats for recall training?
The best recall training treats are usually small, soft, highly rewarding, strongly scented and quick to eat.
Soft natural meat treats, meat pâté, tiny pieces of cooked chicken and selected freeze-dried or air-dried meat treats can all work well. The most important factor, however, is how much your individual dog values the reward.
Should recall treats always be high value?
Not necessarily. In a quiet environment, your dog's normal training treat may be enough. As distractions increase, you may need to increase the value of the reward.
A useful approach is to keep several reward levels available — an everyday training treat, a higher-value meat reward and an occasional jackpot reward for especially difficult recalls.
Can I use kibble for recall training?
Yes, if your dog finds it rewarding enough for the situation.
Kibble may work perfectly well when teaching recall at home or in a very quiet environment. Outdoors, where smells, dogs and wildlife compete for attention, many dogs need a more valuable reward.
How many treats should I use during recall training?
Recall training can involve lots of successful repetitions, so keep individual rewards very small rather than giving a whole treat every time.
Remember to account for training treats as part of your dog's overall daily food intake. If you're doing a particularly treat-heavy training session, you may need to adjust their normal food accordingly.
For a more detailed guide, read our guide to how many training treats a dog should have .
Should I eventually stop using treats for recall?
You don't need to remove rewards completely.
As recall becomes stronger, you can vary what your dog receives — sometimes food, sometimes praise, play or access to something they enjoy. Particularly difficult recalls can still be rewarded generously.
The aim is not to make returning to you unrewarding. It's to build a strong behaviour history so your dog has many reasons to respond.
What if my dog isn't very food motivated?
First, experiment with different food rewards. A dog who seems uninterested in biscuits may respond very differently to chicken, rabbit, pâté or another favourite food.
But food isn't the only possible reward. For some dogs, a favourite toy, chase game, enthusiastic play or being released back to explore can be highly valuable.
The important question is always: what does this dog want enough to work for?
What are the best recall treats for puppies?
Puppy recall treats should be very small, easy to chew and suitable for your puppy's age and diet.
Soft training treats can work particularly well because they are easy to divide into tiny pieces and allow plenty of repetitions without long chewing breaks.
Begin in a quiet environment and build distractions gradually rather than immediately testing recall in a busy park.
Is cheese good for recall training?
Some dogs find cheese extremely rewarding, which can make tiny pieces useful as an occasional high-value training reward.
However, cheese can be relatively rich and may not suit every dog. If you use it, keep portions very small and consider your dog's overall diet and digestion.
Why does my dog recall at home but ignore me in the park?
Because recall becomes much harder when the environment becomes more rewarding.
At home, there may be very little competing for your dog's attention. In a park, they may be choosing between you and other dogs, scents, wildlife, movement and open space.
Reduce the difficulty, increase distance from distractions if needed and use a reward that matches the environment rather than assuming the behaviour has disappeared.
What's the difference between rewarding and bribing a dog?
A reward comes after the behaviour.
You give your recall cue, your dog returns and then the reward appears. A bribe happens when the food is shown first in an attempt to persuade the dog to respond.
During established training, you want your dog responding to the recall cue — not waiting to see whether you're holding something tasty.
What should I do if my dog ignores my recall?
Avoid repeatedly shouting the cue or becoming angry when your dog eventually returns.
Instead, treat the missed recall as useful information: the exercise may have been too difficult. Reduce the distraction, shorten the distance and practise at a level where your dog can succeed.
What is a jackpot reward for recall?
A jackpot is an extra-special reward for an especially good or difficult recall.
It might mean several tiny treats delivered one after another, a favourite food, a game with a toy or another reward your dog values highly.
Jackpot rewards can be useful when your dog successfully leaves a particularly tempting distraction or responds brilliantly in a more challenging environment.
Final Thoughts: The Best Recall Treat Is the One Your Dog Wants to Come Back For
Reliable recall isn't built by finding one magical dog treat.
It's built by repeatedly teaching your dog that coming back to you is a worthwhile choice.
Start somewhere easy, choose a reward your dog genuinely values and practise plenty of successful recalls before increasing the difficulty. As distractions become stronger, adjust the reward, the distance or the environment so your dog still has a realistic chance of succeeding.
For many dogs, small, soft natural meat treats, pâté, fresh meat and other top-tier rewards work particularly well because they're aromatic, quick to eat and easy to divide into tiny training portions. But remember that reward value is personal. The food your dog would choose over everything else may be completely different from another dog's favourite.
Most importantly, make returning to you something your dog never regrets. Reward successful recalls, avoid punishing a slow return, practise recalls that don't always end the fun and occasionally surprise your dog with a jackpot for an exceptional response.
