About this listen

 Welcome to The Dog Training Detective, where mystery-solving meets the art and science of understanding dogs. Created by Lee Charles Kelley, an American novelist and dog trainer based in Manhattan, this show blends gripping storytelling with practical, humane training insights you can use at home. According to Wikipedia, Kelley built a devoted following by weaving dog training wisdom into his detective fiction and by challenging outdated ideas like alpha theory through his Psychology Today blog, My Puppy, My Self.

Here, every case starts with a question: what is the dog trying to tell us? The Dog Training Detective follows clues hidden in body language, emotional states, and environment, turning common “problem behaviors” into solvable mysteries. Listeners learn to read the tail held a bit too high, the tight corners of the mouth, the sudden freeze near the doorway, the sniff that’s not curiosity but stress. Companion Animal Psychology has described good trainers as stalwart detectives, landing in the middle of a dog’s story and uncovering twist after twist through observation and gentle experiments—exactly the approach this show brings to life.

Kelley’s storytelling world features Jack Field, a retired NYPD homicide detective who moves to Maine to run a boarding and training kennel, only to be drawn into new mysteries alongside medical examiner Jamie Cutter and their dogs. This fictional backdrop isn’t just entertainment; it spotlights how careful observation, patience, and empathy crack both crimes and canine puzzles. Apple Podcasts describes The Dog Training Detective as a captivating journey through canine behavior and training, and the show’s feed highlights how suspense, humor, and actionable advice seamlessly intertwine.

What does that mean for listeners in real life? You’ll hear investigative frameworks you can borrow immediately. Change one variable at a time to find the trigger. Trade confrontation for curiosity. Replace labels like stubborn with questions like what need isn’t being met. Reinforce the behavior you want the moment it appears. Use decompression walks, sniffing games, and pattern training to reduce stress. Build reliability with short reps, high-value pay, and clear criteria. And when fear shows up, shrink the distance, lower the difficulty, and let consent lead.

The Dog Training Detective also celebrates dogs as true partners. From scent-driven searches to everyday house manners, the series shows how cooperation beats domination and how connection outperforms correction. Spreaker’s show page calls it a journey into the intriguing world of canine behavior, and it points to Quiet Please as the production home, underscoring the show’s commitment to both narrative craft and practical value.
