My sprollie was oblivious to treats once out in the wild. Little bits of liver, stinky cheese etc worked in the garden but as soon as he was out of the house you could drape treats all over his snout and he'd still ignore it. The JRT cross loved a bit of poo, his or anyone's. He did grow out of it by about 18 months. Taking away his freedom and going back on the lead seemed to work along with distraction treats, he liked treats and was very keen to please.

We always use a high value treat when we're working on new stuff with Crumpet. Kibble for basic good behaviour, high value treats for anything we're specifically working on. Sprats (tiny fish), cheese and cut up hot dogs work well because they fucking stink. Hot dogs were what sorted Crumpet's recall out. She is still partial to the odd roll in a fox turd if it's particularly inviting though.

I want this at my funeral. "Less interesting than fox poo"
Yeah. I think the kibble wasn't up to the "wet grass","outside" etc etc today. Recall is still ok but I think that's mainly "don't fucking leave me out here. unless there's fox poo to eat"
