Video's original release: 1997

Dolphins and other marine mammals in captivity are trained for a different number of reasons
other than to perform in animal shows. They may include the following:
• Physical Stimulation
• Cognitive (Mental) Stimulation
• Medical and Husbandry Applications
• Research and and Educational Application

To successfully train an animal to do behaviors successfully, the trainer must build a long-term
relationship with the animal they are about to train for such behaviors. These relationships
can take many years to build up thus, it also involves building trust and cooperation in the
process. Every animal the trainer works with has a very different personality comparing to the
previous animals they had worked with in the past. So, building an human/animal relationship
can be very challenging.
