Adding more rows to repeater field programatically

I’ve looked at hundreds of examples and I can add the first row – even append a second row, but I cant add any more rows and its driving me crazy – possibly thisis because I’m not using the loop method or my array_unshift method is accessing the wrong array?

This adds a second row with data but will then overwrite a row if I update the form

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {

    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
   
    $field_key = 'field_5bdc8d3c953f2';
    $value = array();
        $value[] = get_field($field_key, 'user_'.$user_id);
    $new_row = array('name' => $dogsname, 'sex' => $sex, 'rda' => $rda);
    array_unshift( $value, $new_row  );
    update_field($field_key, $value, 'user_'.$user_id);

}

Fixed! This was a dumb mistake! Removed [] from $value

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {

    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    $field_key = 'field_5bdc8d3c953f2';
    $value = get_field($field_key, 'user_'.$user_id);
    $new_row = array('name' => $dogsname, 'sex' => $sex, 'rda' => $rda);
    array_unshift( $value, $new_row  );
    update_field($field_key, $value, 'user_'.$user_id);

}
