370: FOMO in Dog Agility

370: FOMO in Dog Agility

In this episode (32:54)

In this episode, we unpack FOMO, the Fear of Missing Out, in the world of dog agility. From chasing every seminar and trend to feeling left behind when others seem to improve faster, we talk about how FOMO affects both handlers and dogs. Drawing on psychology, personal experience, and plenty of agility-specific examples, we explore how to recognize FOMO, how it can quietly derail progress, and how to shift toward a healthier mindset, the Joy of Missing Out (JOMO).

Whether you're a newcomer overwhelmed by all the options or a seasoned competitor trying to keep up with every new technique, this episode will help you reset your focus and find confidence in your own path.

You Will Learn
  • What FOMO really is and why it's especially common in dog agility.
  • How FOMO can affect training, competition, finances, and mental health.
  • Why even experienced handlers and coaches fall into the trap of constant comparison.
  • Practical ways to reframe FOMO into JOMO, the Joy of Missing Out.
