Dolphins have been trained in the past by the U.S. navy to attack sharks, but the dolphins attacked only those that typically did not try to eat them in the wild. Sand and Lemons sharks were two of the kinds that dolphins were trained to attack, but not Bull sharks, which were of similar size to the Dolphins and know to eat them. In this case the dolphins would not approach. In the wild the dolphin relies on it's speed, maneuverability, and the members of its pod to protect itself and other members.
Dolphins also use their sonar to locate and in some instances kill their prey. their sonar can possibly be used to confuse larger predators, but this has not been documented.
