Education

Most animal trainers are required to have a high school diploma or GED. More experienced trainers become more familiar with training techniques. Certification is not mandatory but several big companies need it. Marine mammal trainers need a bachelor's degree in marine biology, animal science, and psychology. They need experience in problem-solving and animal obedience. Trainers need to be able to take care of the animal and make sure they are healthy. Trainers will also need to know about the animal's environment and how it works. They cannot just pick up let’s say a monkey and stick it in a cage with lions. The monkey would be then eaten and they would have no monkey. Not good at all. But most importantly they need to make sure the animal is happy.
