Oh I'm not talking that it can't be trained well. That's not my point.
Of course dogs can be trained to sniff drugs or find people, the gist of it is that they were trained for this behaviour, and might not understand it like we do.
A good exemple is a study that research on cancer sniffing dogs had problems with false positives.
The false positive problem actually works in favour of the dogs, here: Their noses are excellent they know exactly whether there's drugs there or not. They also know that the humans can't tell so it's easy to get a treat regardless. And they also know to not overdo it.
Even more complicated are cats, figures that they are by and large uninterested in being studied or proving anything to you.
