Even if, in reality, the dogs were total duds, it's great deterrence to make smugglers think you actually have "super clone sniffer dogs".

Tutu is surprisingly badly behaved for a trained dog. I wonder if allowing him to run amok is important for sniffing effectively.

Detection dogs are not trained for obedience, the goal is to have them focus on exploring & finding and not setting quietly. The idea is to have them only give the desired response(in that case sit and point), when they detect a substance they have been trained to detect.

I think we all know the real reason South Korea is cloning dogs.
