It’s not difficult to teach your dog how to fetch, however it would be impressive if the item your dog was grabbing happened to be a lobster. 

One former student at Florida Atlantic University trained his pooch how to fish for fresh seafood. Alex Schulze taught his adorable Labrador, Lila, how to dive and catch lobsters in South Florida. 

Schulze posted a detailed video on YouTube that shows how he trained Lila to perform this unique skill.

He said the key is to associate the task with fun and started the training with throwing toys into a swimming pool.
