Dolphin Training

Strong bonds of trust and affection are created among dolphin trainers and dolphins. Our program to training dolphins operates under the basis of respect, patience and love. The tasks carried on from the beginnig of this process are aimed to stimulate dolphins as well as making them feel secure and protected. This interaction results in mutual understanding obtained by long hours of work and observation, knowing that each dolphin is unique and therefore considered an individual. This focus makes, of the interaction with our visitors, an activity that our dolphins can also enjoy.

Inside our dolphin training program we emphasize in the medical training relevance, where our dolphins allow, in a voluntary manner, the necessary biological sampling for their individual evaluations. These include blood, feces, exudate and gastric content. Dolphins also learn how to facilitate ultrasound and endoscopic studies, helping dolphin trainers, veterinarians and biologist to guarantee their integrity without handling them in a risky manner.

Besides creating interactive programs to swim with dolphins that follow our general objectives, we develop other activities of great importance. Among the dolphin trainers main tasks is the reinforcement of the dolphins usual exercises, such as freestyle jumps, flapping tails, vocalizing, etc., always taking into consideration each dolphins' unique characteristics and disposition to carry on these special sessions. Dolphin trainers register in a log, every time a behavioral change is observed on a dolphin.
