My dog becomes very distracted. How can I fix this?

Full Question:
I have an narcotic detection dog that been on the force for about 5 months now. I have noticed when I am doing a search with her and there are other people around she becomes distracted. Its almost like she has not confidence.

Also I noticed in doing a school parking lot, she gets distracted on different wheels were I believe other animals have left there mark. She was fixed when I first got her from the kennel. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks for you time

Ed Ed's Answer:
There are a number of things that could be going on here:

1. The dog would not pass a decent selection test for a narcotics dog. Without knowing and seeing that has to be considered.
2. The training is not right
3. I don’t know your skill or your dog so I cant answer this. It sounds like questions that should be asked to the kennel you got the dog from

Kind Regards,
