Check out Moorpark in California - its a school that can prepare you for training exotic animals. Of course, a degree in biology is always helpful. Try seeking out volunteer opportunites to gain experience.

You wouldn't HAVE to move but it migth be in your best interest to move if you find a good job/school/internship. Study Psychology/biology in college and look up marine mammal training on the internet for more helpful info.

You can start your mammal training career by learning how to spell mammal LOL. Then get a degree (at least bachelor, B.S. degree) in biology/zoology even better mammalogy, the more school the better. In the mean time, do as much volunteer work as you can to gain experience.
