Do you have any sources? (Not calling BS, just curious.) I'm especially interested in drug-sniffing dogs, as I've heard that the dogs are often trained with specific commands to bark; then, when conducting a search, the officer will trigger the dog to bark with one of these commands, then use that bark as justification to search. In other words, the whole thing is just a prop. Not sure if there's truth to that, though; only what I've heard.

But, beyond that, surely you've met a few dogs in your life, no? One of the most obvious things about them is how badly they want to please their masters. What do you think the police want their dogs to do? 0 - https://www.aclu-il.org/en/news/drug-sniffing-dogs-are-wrong-more-right https://www.aclu-il.org/en/news/drug-sniffing-dogs-are-wrong... 1 - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2015/08/04/federal-appeals-court-drug-dog-thats-barely-more-accurate-than-a-coin-flip-is-good-enough/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2015/08/04/...
