So after a day of fielding advice from people, and watching those videos over and over . . . (Poor Rippa goes crazy when she hears them)
I think I get it completely:
1. SHUT UP, Kristin.
2. Trust your dog. I keep watching this videos and even the ones where she “chomps” aren’t even horrible chomps. They’re measured.
3. I watched the one where I got a video of me trying to get her around and I am putting WAY too much pressure on the sheep to set up Rippa to be successful. I have to just try it without being afraid of her wool pulling.
4. My timing’s not great. I understand that sometimes when I’m yapping, poor Rippa has no idea what I’m trying to show her because my body and my mouth are not in sync.
I am still worried that #2 will result in a wool pulling fiasco because in order to take the pressure off the sheep, there’s a moment between sending her and her fetching them to me where I can’t protect them if I need to stay off them to take pressure off and it could end up poorly. But, I guess, we can always stop it if it doesn’t work.
