'Harry Potter' popular with dog mom as she teaches her pup startling 'spells' and commands
Dobby is a three-year-old labradoodle who knows 17 'Harry Potter' spells
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A super fan of the Harry Potter character and the popular series has taken her obsession to a new level by teaching commands to her pup in the form of wizarding spells.
Audriana Li, 33, of Toronto, Canada, has been training her labradoodle, Dobby, to respond to spells.
Li said she's always been a big fan of the "Harry Potter" movies, and decided to teach some spells to her dog as training commands, as SWNS reported.

"I thought I could be creative and match some spells to other commands," she said.
She added, "It’s no different than training a dog with regular commands, really."

Li said her three-year-old dog is "very food motivated" — which makes it easy for her to teach him new commands.

With 17 spells under his belt, Dobby will lie down when Li says "stupefy," stay when Li says "immobulus," come to her when Li says "accio" — and jump up when she says "ascendio."

Dobby can also perform tricks with certain "spells."
These include playing dead, spinning, standing up on his back legs, drinking water, walking backwards, jumping over an object, sitting pretty — and catching a ball.
"I thought I could be creative and match some other spells to other commands."
Li said she and her wizard pup are a duo, saying they both must have a little magic within.

"But it’s so funny [that] we can send him to ‘prison’ and he’s happy to do it," she joked.

"When I scream, ‘Accio, Dobby’ at the park, I get some strange looks — but we always get people coming up to us and speaking about Harry Potter," she said.
She also told SWNS that teaching Dobby to play dead was funny because he wanted to make sure he was following her command correctly — and had a memorable reaction to it.

"Somewhere along the line, he got used to sticking his legs out and looking at you, questioning if he’s doing it right," Li said.

She added, "Then, his tail continued wagging as if he’s excited to be ‘dead,’ so it’s a very funny visual."
