I maintain that if drug-sniffing dogs actually knew what it was that they were doing, none of them would be drug-sniffing dogs.
Fun fact, drug sniffing dogs are actually trying to please their handler, not find drugs! This bias can cause all sorts of problems, from the dog signalling falsely to the handler unknowingly leading or signaling the animal!
I think this may have been on the Ologies podcast recently, the dog was too excited and playful for a police dog, but that was perfect for poop sniffing.
