Well there are stupid pet tricks and then ones that can come in handy like fetching lobster. Now, to be fair and a bit of a kill joy before you begin these pups are fetching California lobsters where the water is much warmer and not nearly as deep as lobsters are found in the Atlantic. Still the fact that Alex Schulze actually taught his dogs Maverick and Lila to dive into the ocean at all is pretty freaking amazing. In this video he is also convinced that you can teach you dog to dive as well, I am not convinced of that but give a look and see what you think. Schulze is the cofounder of a group called ‘Devoted to the Ocean’ and even offers step-by-step instructions on how to teach your dog to do the same thing. He says the most important thing is to offer dogs "lots of positive reinforcement." I’m guessing a pool doesn’t hurt either.
