Description

Senior Dolphin Trainer Rachel Hudon sits down with Kenny Dyal in Atlanta, GA to discuss all things working with dolphin. She discusses what it's like physically working with marine mammals, doings shows, the competitive nature of the industry, and how to actually land that job. She lays out specific steps to get hired as a dolphin trainer, talks about other similar species you can work with, and common mistakes people make trying to get into the field. Rachel also talks about how to handle controversial activism (such as that sparked by Blackfish) and other issues facing the marine mammal and aquarium world.   Rachel also offers an extensive set of teaching videos and content through her "Tursi Teach" channel: https://www.instagram.com/tursiteach/
