I was shocked by the title of this thread and wondered how 'accurate' it was, decided to watch Lydia's videos and (now I'm being dramatic!) her relationship with Porter has broken my heart. He looks like the sweetest little dog, but just seems so sad and low energy. She berates him and prevents him from doing anything 'puppy like' - getting muddy, chewing etc. When she said 'to be honest he's very lucky to be taken on a walk and i'm being so nice to him' because he'd chewed her Hermes belt I was horrified. How is that 'lucky'? It's the absolute basics. Porter is also probably chewing because he's bored and / or distressed, she's clearly not giving him enough attention. I understand Lydia's frustration in raising a puppy. It's hard, I cried a lot a training my dog but I NEVER resented him. Every time she mentions him she's just complaining about him, or dragging him along on his walk. His behaviour is not his fault, he's a baby and he's learning. I just want to pick Porter up and give him the biggest cuddle.
EDIT: I'm also so glad to see people calling it out in the YouTube comments.
