Really pleased for you and Gypsy, WELL DONE awesome job
It's not really 'doing it wrong'- one of the hardest things I find is to step back, when things are going well you do want to push for just one more.. And learning to adapt the 'recipe' to each individual dog. Every dog is different, every day is different.
I would say tho, proof it, proof it, then proof it some more in a variety of locations and until you have an instant and excited response before you even think about using the interrupter when she's actually doing something enjoyable like chewing the rug (in the meantime find another way around that)
