That's exactly what we're trying out at the minute actually! Our walker suggested a rotating selection of high value treats, to be given when she returns to us after calling her back.

We were told in our puppy class to use one specific high value treat for recall only.
we use cubes of the stronger cheddar for recall, and a different treat for general obedience which has made a real difference to recall with her.
unless she's chasing a seagul a kilometer down the beach, but there's not much that will recall her from that

Have had very good results with our lurcher pup by giving the highest value treats (e.g. sausage) ONLY when shee comes back on a walk. Take other treats with you for rewarding other behaviour, but let them know you've got the good stuff with you and they'll only get it by returning when you call them. Don't give them the high value treat at any other time, just for recall.
