He really IS nurturing, positive, and respectful, and is very gentle and subtle when he has to correct someone.

Don't dolphin trainers do something like pat the water to get the dolphin to come over? There must be a way of suggesting the desired behavior without waiting for the dolphin to come upon it naturally... Good point.
