How to Become a Dolphin Trainer
You may be looking to become a dolphin trainer or know someone who wants to become a dolphin trainer. Well, here is a story about what is entailed to become a Dolphin Trainer.
To become a dolphin handler is a very competitive field to get into and your college education is a big plus to get you into this field as you will see from this story. I would highly recommend that you at least try the swim with the dolphin program to see that your really enjoy these beautiful animals and the salt water that they reside in. There have been so many times, I have seen someone get into the water with the dolphins and they don’t really like salt water, the taste, the feel or how it can sting their eyes. Just that experience alone can deter someone from entering this career. Plus if you participate in the dolphin swim, you can talk with the trainers one on one and ask plenty of questions about the field. This can be invaluable

I interned at the Dolphin Research Center in Grassy Key years ago. Their mission as a non-profit is educationally and environmentally focused. They continue to produce fine marine animal trainers and programs for all.
Although I am a horse trainer nowadays, I have taken a lot from what I learned there and applied it here. Plus I now am a member and volunteer of the Coastal Research and Education Socity of Long Island where I live. We aim to preserve the ocean environment and the animals that live there.

Hi Teresa,
Great advice. Dolphin Research Center is a great place and I have been there many times. If you would like to add any photos from your internship days, please add them to our facebook fan page.
Why did you move from dolphins to horses? Was it more opportunity with horses?
God Bless,
