I was pulled over in West Baton Rouge in 2009, we were driving east in an empty rental box truck after helping a friend move back to Tx. It was 1am, we were pulled over on a BS pretense (weaving across lanes when we signaled a lane change because they had someone else pulled over, so we obeyed the law of pulling over a lane to give them room). I denied their request to search the truck, they had no reason. They called the drug dog, who after the third walk around, "signaled" drugs at the right front tire (after having thir leash jerked). They then "had cause" to search the truck. After finding two small suitcases with clothes (exactly what we told them they'd find), the main cop got really angry with me for "making a mockery of the south", threw the keys at me and told us to GTFO.
I'm 100% convinced drug dogs are trained to "signal" falsely at certain things like a leash tug. It's all BS.

I should also add that dogs and many other animals really like pleasing people. So one doesn't even have to consciously train for outcomes like this. A famous example is Clever Hans, the horse that supposedly could read, do math, and answer questions like "If the eighth day of the month comes on a Tuesday, what is the date of the following Friday?" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clever_Hans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clever_Hans
