Could there be a different smell or air-flow coming from one side versus the others?
My apartment building has identical elevator lobbies. I thought my dog was smart by not leaving the elevator on seemingly identical incorrect floors. But actually I think she just knows what home smells like.

Not sure, but I wouldn't think so. They'd basically spring out of the elevator with no hesitation.
Our dogs do that. There's a building we used to go up with six elevators. Three on each side of the hallway facing each other. Without hesitation the dogs will pick the correct direction to go coming out of the elevator. Whereas I always had to check because it all looks the same and depending on which side the elevator is on you have to turn left or right.
It's like they have an innate sense of where they are.
