With teenage boys to raise on my own I was the best sniffer dog
in the apartment. We spent heaps of time together too and had a close relationship.

Naut, those sniff dogs would never get past our cats after they've had
their evening "smoke"......

Naut, Our apartment complex managers use "sniff dogs" from a company like that to make sure our place is drug free.  If doggie says something naughty is there, tenant is evicted immediately, with no reprieve.

     I know this is an unpotular statment but how about Mom's stay home and raise their kids.  Careers are good but I think both Moms and Dads spend too much time on them.  On the other hand I also took in a lot of kids that weren't mine and had a lot of problems.  A drug sniffing dog may have been helpful at times.

Don't know what they will have next. I think be the time I would do something like that I would long ago have known something is bad wrong here.

How sad to have to hire a dog to spy on your kid...  I am with Sam...why not just talk to them or even better, know them in the first place so one can notice the changes that ocurr with drug use...  and they keep the finds??? loll not a bad business...they can always sell it back to the kid I guess loll

I have an idea: talk to you kids! What service is next? What a crazy way to part with $200. Shelly

Or, get a dog instead of a kid. Few dogs are found hanging on the
corner, hat turned backwards, wearing baggy pants hoping to score. And they don't as a rule roll their eyes and cop an attitude because their friends get to do (whatever).

I think some parents are not talking enough to their kids. Maybe having a dog in the house will help with a constructive dialogue! LOL

How about just ripping apart their room when they’re out (which is what I used to do.  But, of course, I’d try to put it back to the same mess it was in before I rummaged around).    Or...ummm... how about talking to our children.  Now there's a thought!
