Because of his experience, Martinez played a big role in training the animals for the upcoming Christmas show. One of the tricks involved a stand-on spy hop where the trainer balanced on the killer whale as he rose out of the water. However, the trick didn’t go as planned, since Martinez fell into the water when Keto leaned to one side. As per training, Martinez gave him a neutral response and no reward. Soon after, the orca earned fish as a reward after working with another trainer.
Returning to work with Keto, Martinez tried a move where he rode the orca into the pool before sliding up onto the stage. However, Keto dove too deeply, forcing Martinez to swim back on his own. However, it seemed like the orca was blocking his trainer’s path to the stage.
