Residential Drug Searches
1) You a concerned parent? Seeing your kids grades, attitude, and outlook on life changing? Are they acquiring goods and wondering how?
2) Stop them from going to jail, having a police record and forever changing their lives.
3) Be a parent that wants to know, they will grow up thanking you.
Complete Canines is offering residential narcotic searches. Eisen Faust Kennels trains and supplies us the top narcotic detection K9’s. Our dogs are certified from the American Working Dog Association. We recertify our dogs every 6 months to provide the top detection dogs.
Our searches are unobtrusive; we are not affiliated with any law enforcement so if narcotics were located the client has sole authority of the outcome. If you seek Complete Canines to conduct a search of your resident we contact local Human Services to have assistance to the client if drugs were found. The choice of using the services is up to the client but encouraged.
This service is not to be punitive but to be pro-active
Our service is admired by Social Workers, Police Officers, and the concerned parents. |

Children: Jill born Jan 12, 1996 | Re: Wondering if your kids are using drugs | | If things got to the point where I thought this was needed I might just call law enforcement. Being this is hypothetical, I would think my wife & I would have tried pretty everything, including confronting our daughter that we believe/know she is using drugs.
I would see a service like this being useful if dealing with a person who is chronic drug abuser and needs to know that at random dogs will be coming into the home to seek out drugs stashs. Half way houses for example. This course would only prompt a hardcore drug user not to keep drugs in the home. A random drug test would be more effective and more threatening to drug users. |

Children: One boy 8, twin girls 7. | Re: Wondering if your kids are using drugs | | So you find some drugs and do what? Smoke them yourself? I think a parent can find their kids own drugs. Kids are NOT that smart to hide drugs, only dumb parents who can't find them. lol Maybe for the schools but not in my home. |

As far as knowing every and any place your kids would hide drugs in ones house ... I find that humorous for someone to believe that kids couldnt find a safe place to stash them if they thought mom and dad were looking..
As far as random checks ... theres several ways to fool the dogs, and several places to stash, that the dogs wouldnt find as well .. |

 | Re: Wondering if your kids are using drugs | | I love to view these forums. Being a young teen, it's fascinating and hilarious to see what you guys think of kids my age. My opinion on this subject is that kids are going to use drugs. No matter what. I don't care if your child is high honor roll and is part of the jazz band and is going to MIT. The vast vast vast majority of children will try drugs at least once in their early teens. The same thing goes with drinking. If i was a parent, I would talk to my kids about the usage of drugs, but not in a "DON'T EVER EVER EVER DO THEM" type of way. I think if you explain not to take drugs in situations that could turn out very badly while they were high, the kids would be much more responsive. Talking to your teenager like a parent is not going to do anything in your favor. in fact, they will want to rebel more. We hate people telling us what to do. If you treat us like friends, we will be much more responsive. Try speaking as if you are one of their most trusted, best friends. Don't try to get into their buisness, or they will simply pull away and lose trust for you. Explaining some of your own stories of when you were our age and tried drugs helps humanize you more as well. Having animals do random raids on your kids rooms is not going to make them like you anymore. However, if you want them to be even more screwed up and determined to do what is forbidden, go ahead! Oh and btw, kids usually do much worse things when drunk than when high. Tell your kids that if they are going to drink, just don't ever get so drunk you can't control yourself. Never attack us with questions about if we've tried drugs or drinking, when, where, and why. I believe people my age do drugs/drink due to wanting more control of our own lives. We are told what to do by everybody, and in the end all we want is some freedom in order to feel less like subjects and more like citizens. REMEMBER: act like a friend. Suggest that they shouldn't drink or do drugs in situations that could turn out badly, and never to go over the top on either. A good relationship with your child will make them feel much more mature and as if we have more power then we actually do. good luck |

Then when you have children I want you to take this out and read it. You think like a child. |

| Re: Wondering if your kids are using drugs | | I agree with the whole "use drugs responsibly" thing. My mother always told me that if were to ever try anything out, I would have to tell her, and she'd let me do it in our house, in front of her, so she could be sure I was safe.
Of course, I never took her up on her offer, except once. It was with a cigarette, and it tasted gross. =]
