Does the officer have the right to detain you while they summon a dog? Is an indication from a dog considered probable cause in which case they can force you to let them see in your car or do they still need to get a warrant?

I've read that you can be resonably detained for up to 30 min. If a dog is involved, and the dog alerts to your car, then this is considered valid probable cause to search your vehicle. So your constitutional rights are decided by a dog! I can easily imagine that the officer performs some unseen trick to cause the dog to alert to you vehicle. This whole system is screwed up.
