Dog pate is one of the most underused tools in a dog owner's treat arsenal. Soft, smelly, high value and incredibly versatile — a block of quality pate can transform your training sessions, keep your dog occupied for longer and turn a reluctant eater into an enthusiastic one.
Why Pate Works So Well as a Training Treat
The best training treats are high value, quick to eat and easy to deliver. Pate ticks all three boxes. It has a strong smell that dogs find irresistible, it can be delivered in tiny amounts (a lick is enough), and it doesn't require chewing so your dog stays focused on you rather than on the treat.
Paddock Farm Luxury Pate is grain-free, high in protein and suitable for dogs from 8 weeks — making it suitable across all life stages, from puppy training to advanced obedience work.
5 Ways to Use Dog Pate
1. Training reward: Slice or dice the pate into small cubes and use as high-value rewards during training sessions. The strong smell makes it fantastic for recall training, where you need something that cuts through distractions.
2. Lick mat topper: Spread pate across a lick mat for a calming, enriching activity. Lick mats are brilliant for anxious dogs, dogs in the car, or simply keeping your dog occupied while you work. The repetitive licking motion is naturally soothing.
3. Kong stuffing: Mix pate with other treats and stuff into a Kong. Freeze overnight for a long-lasting enrichment activity that will keep your dog engaged for 20-30 minutes.
4. Grated over dinner: If your dog is a fussy eater, grate a small amount of pate over their regular food as a flavour booster. It works especially well for dogs recovering from illness or stress.
5. Frozen training cubes: Freeze pate in an ice cube tray for perfect portion-controlled training treats that are easy to carry in a treat bag.
