Imagine trading the gritty streets of New York City for the peaceful woods of rural Maine, only to discover that mysteries follow you like a loyal dog. That is the premise of The Dog Training Detective, a captivating podcast and book series created by Lee Charles Kelley, a Manhattan-based novelist and real-life dog trainer who masterfully blends two passions: mystery writing and canine behavior.
At the heart of the series is Jack Field, a grizzled former NYPD homicide detective who adores dogs but can barely tolerate people. According to Apple Podcasts, Jack takes early retirement, fed up with human deceit, and flees to rural Maine where he opens a boarding and training kennel. He dreams of peaceful country walks and quiet nights, hoping his days of crime-solving are behind him. But fate has other plans. Crimes keep sniffing him out, from suspicious clients to baffling murders turning up nearby, pulling him back into the fray.
Jack does not crack these cases alone. He teams up with Dr. Jamie Cutter, a sharp-witted, funny part-time medical examiner who becomes both his love interest and investigative partner. Together, alongside a rotating cast of canine sidekicks, they sift through alibis, autopsy reports, and muddy paw prints. According to Wikipedia, a nervous rescue dog dodges suspicious rooms, a confident shepherd fixates on a killer's scent, or a so-called bad dog whose quirks map out the crime scene, proving dogs are not just pets but clue-cracking geniuses.
What truly sets The Dog Training Detective apart is Kelley's philosophy toward canine behavior. According to Wikipedia, he challenges outdated ideas like alpha dominance theory and rigid operant conditioning, instead portraying dogs as emotional partners driven by fear, excitement, and loyalty. His six Jack Field novels weave murder mystery, romantic comedy, and practical training tips into comic, sometimes farcical adventures, making every tale a dance between sleuthing and understanding your pup.
The novels are best described as a combination of murder mystery, romantic comedy, and dog training manuals. Apple Podcasts describes how listeners are not just solving crimes alongside Jack Field and his canine companions but also learning valuable real-world techniques for raising and understanding dogs. Between them, Jack reads the canine mind while Jamie reads the human body, and together they crack cases that leave the local cops shaking their heads.
Whether you are a mystery lover, a dog enthusiast, or someone seeking a unique blend of both, The Dog Training Detective offers engaging storytelling wrapped in genuine dog training wisdom.
