The Dog Training Detective is a captivating podcast and book series that masterfully blends two worlds: murder mystery and canine behavior. Created by Lee Charles Kelley, a Manhattan-based novelist and real-life dog trainer, the series has captured the imagination of listeners who love both a good whodunit and man's best friend.
The story follows Jack Field, a retired NYPD homicide detective who becomes fed up with city crimes and corpses. Seeking peace and quiet, he flees the chaos of Manhattan for rural Maine, where he purchases a boarding and training kennel. But trouble has a way of following Jack. Soon after settling into his new life, he falls for Dr. Jamie, and before long, murder mysteries begin unfolding in his quiet Maine town. What makes this series unique is how it weaves together Jack's expertise in both criminal investigation and dog training, using canine behavior insights to help solve these intriguing crimes.
Originally published as six detective novels, the Jack Field stories have now expanded into a podcast format, bringing these Maine mysteries to life in an audio experience. The podcast debuted on March 29, 2026, and releases new episodes weekly, with each episode running about three minutes. This bite-sized format makes it perfect for listeners who want to squeeze a good mystery into their day.
The appeal of The Dog Training Detective lies in its clever premise. While many crime podcasts focus solely on criminal investigation, this series adds an unexpected dimension by incorporating authentic dog training knowledge. Listeners get to enjoy compelling whodunit storytelling while also learning about canine behavior and the science behind dog training. It's entertainment that educates, mystery that informs.
The series demonstrates how two seemingly separate interests can combine to create something entirely fresh. Whether you're a dog enthusiast curious about training methods, a mystery lover hungry for new cases to solve, or someone who simply enjoys well-crafted storytelling, The Dog Training Detective offers something for everyone. Jack Field's journey from burnt-out detective to kennel owner turned amateur sleuth in rural Maine provides the perfect backdrop for these engaging tales.
With the podcast now available on major platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcasts, The Dog Training Detective has made these stories accessible to a growing audience. The combination of thoughtful writing, intriguing plot twists, and genuine insights into canine behavior has made it a standout in the crowded podcast landscape.
