Meg has been training exotic animals for more than 15 years. She began her marine mammal career as a surrogate mother for sea otter pups that were orphaned after the Valdez oil spill in 1989. Since then, Meg has worked at some of the world's best aquariums and zoological parks with a diverse collection of animals both terrestrial and aquatic. As a Lead Animal Care Specialist for the John G. Shedd Aquarium, Meg helped supervise the daily operations of the aquarium's new $45 million marine mammal complex. In 2000, Meg created Animal Management Resources, Inc. a consulting company that works with domestic and international zoos to teach animal keepers how to utilize positive training techniques to improve animal husbandry and guest experience. Her company has been recognized for its contribution and leadership to animal training, care, and education by the International Marine Animal Trainers Association and the American Association of Zoo Keepers.

“...Meg Dye is a truly innovative and compassionate trainer that has spread her knowledge and abilities to training programs large and small. Her training style and in-depth knowledge ranges from marine mammals to primates and everything in between. Meg is marvelous at teaching both animals and humans."

“...The benefits of Animal Management Resources, to both staff and animals, are on going and dramatically measurable. The staff are more comfortable, secure and professional in handling the animals. The animals are more relaxed, less stressed and more stimulated resulting in calmer animals and better exhibits.”
