Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve heard with dolphins it has to be all positive reinforcement because unlike with dogs you can’t just throw on a shock collar or choke chain and “make” them behave. In my mind they would just swim away if you tried to discipline them in any way, even if it is like a horse with it’s bridle where the horse learns to turns so that the “negative” tugging on the rope stops.

What kind of training methods do you use?
