"The Curious Case of the Canine Capers: A Dog Training Detective Mystery"
The Dog Training Detective is a unique podcast and storytelling adventure that blends expert canine training knowledge with the intrigue of detective fiction, all brought together by Lee Charles Kelley. Kelley is a renowned dog trainer and novelist based in Manhattan, well known for his six detective novels featuring Jack Field, an NYPD homicide detective who, burnt out by city crime, retires to Maine. There, instead of escaping mystery, he keeps stumbling back into it—this time, with his loyal dogs by his side and a newfound romance with Dr. Jamie Cutter, a medical examiner. The result is a genre-defying mix of murder mystery, romantic comedy, and practical dog training tips that captivate listeners and readers alike.
Kelley’s work stands out for its clever interweaving of canine behavior advice with witty, engaging crime plots, often laced with humor and farce. These stories are more than whodunits; they serve as informal manuals for anyone interested in dog psychology and training, all while spinning an engaging yarn. The podcast follows in this tradition, offering true canine expertise alongside compelling storytelling, making each episode as instructive as it is entertaining.
What makes Kelley’s approach truly distinctive is his training philosophy. Rather than embracing traditional dominance-based methods or conventional operant conditioning, Kelley draws on the work of Kevin Behan, a noted author and founder of the Natural Dog Training methodology. This approach is rooted in the belief that a dog’s behavior is best understood through emotion and the unique bond between dog and owner. Kelley’s perspectives, sometimes controversial within the dog training world, have sparked rich discussions and even led him to pen a popular blog for Psychology Today, “My Puppy, My Self,” which was widely read and shared.
Kelley’s love of dogs isn’t just professional—it’s personal. His first dog, Charley, achieved minor celebrity status with a recurring appearance on NBC’s Late Night with David Letterman in the late 1980s, adding a real-life touch of showbiz to Kelley’s canine journey.
With The Dog Training Detective, listeners are invited into a world where mystery and canine wisdom go hand in hand. Whether you’re a dog lover, a mystery fan, or just someone searching for a fresh take on either genre, Kelley’s blend of heart, humor, and hound makes for a captivating experience. As both storyteller and trainer, he proves that sometimes, solving mysteries and understanding dogs require the same skill—keen observation, empathy, and a nose for the truth.
