Captured a crab. It is currently sitting in a cage. I have built the cage in an area that I designated as a zone for animal training.

I also made sure that one of my dwarves has the animal training labor enabled and he has currently 'no job'.

But he doesn't train the crab. When I press 'z' and the animal tab, it does not show the crab. On top of the list it reads "Status: domesticated". What should I do to get my dwarf to train the crab?

You can't. According to the wiki, crabs can not be trained, which is why it isn't present in the list (only creatures that can be trained are present). The status shown at the top of the screen is the status of the currently selected creature (which obviously isn't you crab, since it isn't in the list).

To train a creature you have to select it in the Animal list and assign training to it; either one or more specific trainers or anyone with the trainer job enabled.

Thanks. The reason I wanted to tame it was for butchering, so I used a pit and a weapon trap instead.

If it's domesticated, it should already be tame, I think.
