Iā??ve worked and trained with some of the finest detector dogs in the world. Trust me you donā??t want your freedom to depend on getting buy a dog.

To build on what harddon said:

If I walked by a bakery with my dog I would thinkā?¦ā?Damn, that bread smells goodā? my dog would think ā?¦ā?¦ā?Dman, that flour, yeast, salt, baking soda, and water smells good.ā?

Iā??ve known dogs who could smell it through gas tanks (filled with gas.) What fucks people most of the time is residual odor. Itty bitty tinny weeny particles of weed smell (thatā??s the technical term) get on your hands, on your package, on your steering wheel, door handle, everywhere. Their little doggie noses just sniff that right out.

If he plops down on his ass and looks at his handler youā??re fucked.

Their just like people youā??re gonna find slacker dogs out there. It speaks more about the handler than it does about the dog. Lotā??s of things factor in.

These dogs are VERY expensive. And most of them are not chumps. So I would try and find another way.

Things like food, trash, and harsh smells automatically draw the attention of the handler (if their any good.)

And make sure your dealing with a drug dog and not a bomb dog before you start giving up your goods (which is highly likely in an airport situation).
