It is commpn practice to have the dogs sniff around your car while you are lawfully seized for a traffic violation. There's a certain amount of time the cops have to get the dog to your car, about 20 minutes.
They can't hold you while they wait for a dog to arrive to sniff your car, but if they have a dog with them or one gets there while the cop is still writing you the ticket it is perfectly legal for the dog to sniff around your car.
