Dogs have to be certified as capable of identifying the smell of certain narrow classes of substances, and is trained to respond to detection of those substances in an identifiable manner. An uncertified dog is basically a dog which finds some odor interesting, which may or may not belong to a proscribed material.

Thanks.
The dog in NM (interestingly named “Leo”) had an expired certification at the time he precipitated the buggery-under-the-color-of-authority.
And I can take any dog so trained and train him to give me that signal upon the non-verbal promise of a snicky-snack after the “bust.”
