Dogs can be taught to identify the specific scent of individual types of drugs. Narcotics detection dogs can typically detect recreational and illegal substances including cocaine/crack, hashish, opium, marijuana, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, Xanax, and Ecstasy. As new drugs become available or popular, dogs can be taught to detect their scents as well.
If it is so taught to, but concievably without such training it may hone in on a "suspicious" scent. Point is DONT DO/DEAL DRUGS.

What would cause a drug dog to alert positive for narcotics?
The short answer is - nothing. A well trained drug dog (like US Customs) is so accurate its spooky. They are still dogs and despite training, they can get distracted by different smells like female dogs in heat, crispy bacon, a dead bird, etc. But they will not alert on these smells as if it were drugs. There are always exceptions, but its almost impossible to find documented examples of false alerts and usually there are reasons why the dog alerted - like the suitcase had been intentionally dusted with finely powdered marijuana to create a distraction.
