It's a known fact in dog training, although I have personally trained some male dogs who also did pretty well (although I never trained them to do anything as unconstitutional as to sniff for drugs).

      M Ram Aneeshwar they are trained to sniff for specific types of glue used in the manufacturing process of memory cards. Once the target scent is trained then the dog is put on actual hidden objects containing the glue, and finally asked to search the target search object. They add an additional step for searching for electronic devices vs. drugs because the dogs are searching for very faint amounts of glue.

    The officer asked over and over if i had anything i told him no, he let the dog in my car and the dog just kept barking.
    The officers tore my car apart, medical papers, cds, and other personal effects were stepped on, broken and left all over the place.
    When he didnt find anything he gave me a $200 ticket for no seatbelt for wasting his time i imagine and not doing drugs.

      @ryanfischer6550 5 лет назад

      Michael Perrier it’s not quite that simple. Dogs are trained to smell a certain sent or sent compounds. So while the dog may have been alerting properly as trained the sent or compound may have been indistinguishable from let’s say an air freshener to marijuana. It’s a false positive and why a dogs nose isn’t admissible in court on its own. K9s can also detect compounds far beyond what a machine can detect even. So a dog may have alerted to a trained compound that may have been left days or weeks prior (not saying that was your case but if a friend was riding in the car perhaps they weren’t honest for instance).
      I don’t have experience with drug K9s but I have quite a bit of experience with accelerant K9s trained by the ATF to detect hydrocarbons in fire investigation. Off gassing materials like carpet can lead to false positives, which is why methods of collecting and sampling are very much apart of an investigation.

Also dogs have a limit of how long they will actively work with out receiving a reward. It's a complex task as a handler trainer and a dog team. And good training can make teams accurate into the high 90% range. Also handler cues and dog "falses" often go away with mutual confidence in each other.
    Additionally each type of agency has different needs so perhaps a military dog team will be excellent at being able to work extended periods of time and work really independent they may struggle with the amounts of source let's say a boarder patrol dog would regular find. Just an example not stating as fact as everyone around the world has different programs and standards.
    It's really is an amazing career that you learn and are constantly challenged in.

      Those dogs will always "hit". Even if the dog does absolutely nothing other than sniff around, the officer will claim there was a hit. At that point, that little baggie of will fall out of their sleeve, and you will get busted for possession of . HINT: If a cop ever tries to hand you something, do NOT touch it!

    Seven years ago, a researcher named Lisa Lit published a study that she now calls "a real career-ender."
    On the surface, the study tested the abilities of fourteen certified sniffer dogs to find hidden "targets." In reality, the dogs' human handlers were also under the magnifying glass. They were led to believe there were hidden target scents present, when in fact there were none. Nevertheless, the dogs "alerted" to the scents multiple times - especially in locations where researchers had indicated a scent was likely.
    "I think the findings were a little surprising," Lit says. "I don't think the number of incorrect responses was what anybody was really anticipating out of this study."

    Videos Reveal A Close, Gory View Of Police Dog Bites
    Police dogs searching for drugs sometimes "alert" for them when they're not there. That raises questions about the influence of the dogs' handlers. As NPR learned, there is now an effort by some in the training community to eliminate the influence of their handlers' suspicions to make dog searches more fair.
    Lit's study made headlines in the U.S. and abroad, as it seemed to question the impartiality of police K9 teams. In most states, an alert by a certified drug-sniffing dog gives police the right to search your car; some cops jokingly refer to the dogs as "probable cause on four legs." With this study, that probable cause looked shakier.
    Dog trainers and handlers denounced the study and its methods, and Lit couldn't get their cooperation for further research. Dr. Cynthia Otto, another researcher who runs the Penn Vet Working Dog Center at the University of Pennsylvania, recalls the backlash.

    This information may be perfectly accurate, but it may also be carefully crafted disinformation as well. In the 1970's, as a military photographer, I had the opportunity to document the entire flow of packages through the bulk mail terminal at Bayonne, New Jersey. The activities of the drug sniffing dogs was a relatively small part of that story but was able to spend a good deal of time with the dog handlers. They were quick to tell me that the dogs were in fact habituated to the drugs and were kept from ingesting them for 12 hours before their shifts. The demonstration I witnessed involved a half kilo of heroin packaged in plastic, wrapped in foil, packed again in plastic and again in foil before being finally placed into a package outside the terminal. The dogs were stationed strategically between the conveyor belts and the handlers were with me away from the dogs. As soon as the prepared packages entered building on the belts (approximately 100 yards) the dogs essentially went crazy. When the drug packages reached the dogs they snatched them from the belts and literally destroyed them. There were no false positives. It was a very sobering experience.

      Jay Dunbar, we're talking about the mid 70's and I fully allow that things may have changed in 45 years. However I can document that I was an official U.S. Army photographer working in the New York/New Jersey area and that I did the job that I say I did. I did not lie, imagine or "read" the events I described. Believe what you want. I don't give a damn.

      That may have been true in the 70s for drug K9s however how would that theory hold up to a cadaver dog? Would those handlers be keeping rotting corpses on hand at all hours? It’s scientifically proven that dogs have an almost unprovable level of scent. It’s an interesting subject.

      @@jaydunbar7538 this is not an outlier for a us military dog team or even bigger agencies at all. However police and military don't have the same requirements at all as the do not have the same missions. There are things that each agency focuses on more than others for very specific reasons. If a dog is hitting a substance from 200 yards consistently from personal experience that's an outlier but it's not simply based on hey there's this thing X far away. There's a scent cone based on environment weather temp humidity the list can go on. Good training technique and environment you would be truly amazed at what many dogs are capable of. It's just often showcased as much as doing bite work as it is not as exciting as well as it can often lead to false calls of bomb threats. Additionally not many agencies want to share with the open public detection capabilities or limitations as again we all have different missions and are not all trained to do the same things.

      @@ryanfischer6550 yes actually they do have training aids that do have human remains. Not my specialty by any means nor do I think I have the mental fortitude for that part of dog world. Techniques are very much the same but costs for training are much higher as training aids cost a ton and much be recycled quicker than say explosives or narcotics. Additionally many dogs are trained to "track" as well for live people on top of contraband. Cadaver dogs just do this to a higher degree than let's say your local police department dog teams that may not have that specific training.

    I talked to a policeman once who told me basically how they train their K9 dogs. He said they train them to sniff for "a human scent", thus when they bring them out and are looking for something like a weapon or drugs that a criminal may have attempted to hide or discard they can focus in on the scent the person left on the item when handling it. This was a while ago so i'm sure there are more efficient means of how they train them now.

    The other advantage to using mice/rats in sniffing out contraband: They can be used to quickly search strollers and would be seen as cute by kids, while a large dog may unintentionally scare the child, and force the mother to react aggressively towards the officer in question. The latter would obviously get both the child, and their mother on the No-Fly list rather rapidly.

      One could train dogs to do both tasks. But being able to maintain proficiency on so many items would prove extremely difficult and would likely be crap at finding anything with high accurateness. Also having a dog do a passive and active response for different substance would work but let's say you as the human make a mistake in training and mix them up. You now teaching your dog both responses for the substances. That's not a game you want to play. And trust me I say you make the mistakes. The dog is almost always the smart end of the leash.
