It's clear that this resistance to being reasonably tested is because the handlers are obviously influencing the dogs. It's freaking irritating. A lot of that is drug war bs. I thought only us law enforcement would be resistant to evaluation.

The more "system" you have the more often you'll hear "sorry, but that's just how the system works" and nobody will ever be able to (or want to) do anything about the problem.
And there's a lot of system around here in EU. Applies to healthcare, social care and of course police as well.
There was a scandal here in .cz regarding forensic odorology using dogs, as a report came out where the authors basically found out they were unable to test it, because the dog-operators either did not understand what is a double-blind experiment, or they even actively sabotaged it. It is then implied that when they do the identification for real, they are not blind to who the suspect/control is.
