Today at Fins and Flippers Key, we learned how to train a dolphin by using positive reinforcement. We were shown the different hand signals and were able to have the dolphins do their tricks. Some things that they did were shaking hands, waving goodbye, and jumping. At the end, we went on to the platform to get a kiss from the dolphin Fiona. The highlight of the session was probably when Lacey went to get on the platform, and missed horribly, landing on her face with a loud thud.
