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.
