有養狗的人通常都會花時間用指令訓練狗狗,教導牠們服從命令,而這些指令多數都是直接了當的,不過加拿大有位飼主訓練自家愛犬的方式是用《哈利波特》裡的各種咒語,每種咒語代表的意義不同,而且狗狗還真的聽得懂!
據New York Post報導,來自加拿大多倫多(Toronto)的Audriana Li家中養著一隻3歲的拉布拉多貴賓犬(Labradoodle)、取名叫做「多比」(Dobby),Audriana Li不僅自身是《哈利波特》的粉絲,也希望愛犬能像她一樣喜歡《哈利波特》,便想到用咒語來訓練多比,她也常在IG和TikTok上分享愛犬的可愛日常。
Audriana Li表示,早在多比來到家裡前,她就已經下定決心要用《哈利波特》咒語來訓練養的狗狗,「我喜歡每次讓牠來、留下或裝死時,我都有一種擁有真實魔力的感覺」。Audriana Li從多比只有幾個月大的時候就開始教牠一些咒語了,日前她分享了一段影片,透露多比現在能聽懂多達15個咒語分別代表的動作指令。
@dobbyisafreedoodle So if Dobby responds to Harry Potter spells, does that make him a wizard? Or does that make me a witch casting spells on my muggle dog? I knew long before Dobby came along that I would train my future dog with Harry Potter spells instead of regular commands. I love feeling like I have real life magical powers everytime I ask him to come, stay, or play dead Some fun facts about our spells: Accio (come / recall) was the first spell Dobby learned at 11 weeks old, and Liam was actually the one to teach Dobby to Accio! Protego was supposed to be "leave it", but the words "leave it" come screaming out of my mouth much more naturally when Dobby tries to eat garbage on our walks, so we changed Protego to tuck We tried Petrificus Totalus for stay, but it was too much of a mouthful for a command that's used frequently, so we opted for Immobulus instead (we're now working on Petrificus Totalus for "sit pretty") Avada Kedavra is the most requested spell by people we meet out in the world who learn that Dobby know Harry Potter commands Go to Azkaban is my personal favourite - it makes me laugh every night to send him to Azkaban and see him happily trot into his crate! Ascendio and Descendo also mean jump up / jump down Stupefy is the spell we use most often on a daily basis What other spells should Dobby learn at Dogwarts this year? #harrypottertiktok #harrypottertok #harrypotter #harrypotterdog #dogwarts #harrypotterspells #accio #expelliarmus #avadakedavra #azkaban #yerawizard #dogtok #dogtraining #trainyourdog #tricktraining ♬ Harry's Wondrous World (Theme from Harry Potter) - John Williams & Synchron Stage Orchestra & Wizarding World
這些咒語包括「Relashio代表後退」、「Ascendio代表上樓梯」、「Aguamenti代表喝水」、「Glisseo代表跳過去」、「Avada Kedavra代表裝死」等等。Audriana Li說其中她最喜歡的一個咒語是「go to Azkaban」,這是要多比回到籠子裡的意思,「每天晚上把牠送到『阿茲卡班』,看著牠歡快的小跑進籠子裡,我都笑得要命!」
多比的「聽咒語」技能為牠在IG上吸引了3.8萬粉絲數,在TikTok上也有超過2.8萬粉絲數,網友們對於這個特別的訓練方式都紛紛留言回應,「想像一下,在公共場合用一支發亮的魔杖大喊『Avada Kedavra』XD」、「狗狗保姆會喜歡這個的」、「另類的哈利波特迷」、「我現在把裝死的指令從Bang Bang改成這個會太晚嗎?」「你家狗狗好聰明,我有5隻很乖的麻瓜」、「紅色皮毛加一件長袍?一定是衛斯理家的人」。
