The Dog Training Detective is a captivating journey into the fascinating intersection of crime-solving and canine companionship. Listeners are invited into the world of Lee Charles Kelley, an American novelist and respected dog trainer based in Manhattan. Kelley is best known for his series of detective novels featuring Jack Field, a former NYPD homicide detective who, weary of people and motivated by his love of dogs, retires to Maine to open a boarding and training kennel. But in classic mystery style, trouble keeps finding him. Despite his efforts to escape the crime scenes of his past, Jack is drawn back into detective work, often accompanied by his love interest, Dr. Jamie Cutter, and their loyal canine companions, to hunt down wrongdoers and untangle complex mysteries.

What makes Lee Charles Kelley’s work unique is the way he weaves together the suspense of a murder mystery with the practical insights and humor of dog training manuals. Kelley’s novels aren’t just whodunits; they’re also comic, sometimes even farcical, and packed with dog training advice, making them a treat for both mystery fans and dog lovers. According to Wikipedia, this fusion of genres delivers both intrigue and entertainment, elevating the role of the dog from simple sidekick to an essential partner in both investigation and everyday life.

Kelley’s ideas on dog behavior and training have been a topic of discussion far beyond his novels. Drawing inspiration from Kevin Behan, the creator of Natural Dog Training, Kelley’s approach is based on understanding canine motivation and emotion, rather than relying strictly on dominance or operant conditioning. This mindset has earned him both respect and controversy in the wider dog training community. Kelley’s philosophy also garnered him an invitation to write a popular blog for Psychology Today, titled My Puppy, My Self, which explored the connections between canine and human behavior.

An interesting piece of trivia for listeners – Kelley’s first dog, Charley, actually made a recurring appearance on Late Night with David Letterman in a segment called Charley the Bubble-Eating Dog, though ironically, Charley never managed to eat any bubbles during the bit.

The Dog Training Detective, both as a podcast and literary journey, presents a clever blend of canine insight, detective skill, and good-natured humor. It’s a must-listen for those intrigued by problem-solving with a four-legged friend by your side.
