Who We Are:

About the Owners

AMR is owned by Greg and Meg Dye.

Meg 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 gained extensive animal care and management experience with numerous species of marine mammals and birds including whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions, and penguins. 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 visitor experience.

  “…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.”

Greg began his animal training career in 1984 and since that time has been involved in the care and training of many marine animal species including dolphins, whales, walruses, sea lions, harbor seals, sea otters and a variety of marine fish and invertebrates. He has worked with some of the best zoological facilities in the country including Sea World of Ohio, John G. Shedd Aquarium, and the Chicago Zoological Society’s Brookfield Zoo. Greg has served as both the Vice President and President of the International Marine Animal Trainers Association. Greg joined Animal Management Resources, Inc. in 2005.

“…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.”
