A Twitter post by Kylie Cunningham @kyyylieeeee that reads “today at the airport one of the drug dogs set off a false alarm and officers rushed over to find out the dog had alerted them for a piece of pizza. the handler just patted his head and goes “it’s okay buddy i know pizza always confuses you” and gave him his treat anyways.”

      The conditioning doesnt work well with a delayed reward. They dont wait until after the search and the dog is proven correct to give the reward when in the field, (unlike in the training where the handlers know which items are correct ahead of time and can only reward correct responses )

      Your also making a huge assumption that the officer handling the dog is actually good at his job.
