animal trainer
Circus whip wielder
An animal trainer is a person who teaches animals to perform specific behaviors, whether for entertainment, work, or behavioral modification.
Trainers work with everything from household pets to circus elephants to marine mammals, using techniques ranging from reward-based conditioning to more traditional methods.
The animal trainer got the dolphin to jump through hoops.
Professional animal trainers often specialize in particular species or training purposes, such as film work, service animal preparation, or zoo enrichment programs.
