In developed countries, it is considered natural to request a trainer when adopting a pet dog, but in Japan this idea has not yet caught on. In addition, many people find it difficult to consult a trainer even if they have a problem.
At this event, we will be offering lessons at a special price so that you can easily interact with trainers and learn the importance of lessons. Please take this opportunity to speak with the trainer, consult with them, and experience what the lessons are like. <
Game tournaments allow you to learn about discipline while having fun. We also offer dog sports experiences that are not usually available. Seminar to solve problems in everyday life
We also offer seminars for puppies of the same breed only.
*We have a spacious dog run full of dogs of the same breed*
* You can spend a comfortable time at the dog run full of dogs of the same breed, which is unique to the event! *
The event’s most popular content, the dog run, is surrounded by a wide area in the center of the park where you can enjoy your time. It is also recommended as a place to meet new friends.
In addition, we have created various rules based on the opinions of dog trainers who are in charge of training lessons so that everyone can have a safe and comfortable time.
In fact, dog runs are experiencing various problems. We are working on various initiatives at the Free Stitch event to help solve these problems, so please come and join us with your friends.
* We also have a “slow area” for puppies, seniors, and fearful people * We have made the dog run free so that even children who have had fear in the past and are not good at dog runs, puppies who have never been to a dog run, and seniors who want to spend time relaxing at their own pace can use the dog run with peace of mind. Stitch has a “slow area”. <

We hope to hold the event again next year!

・This was my second time participating this year, and I had even more fun than last year!

I’m looking forward to participating again next year! ! !
・I love corgis and just looking at them gives me comfort. It was a very fun day to participate.

Currently, we are mainly involved in the cost of creating collars to be presented as part of the foster parent support project, the cost of pet food foster parent volunteer support costs, and the care tags that have been placed with messages such as “leave them alone” and “please watch over them without approaching them” for “various reasons.” ” will be used for the production costs.
Foster parent support activity “Welcome back now” campaign
We provide original collars to owners and their new dogs as foster parents. When you put this collar on, don’t forget the first day you came here. With that in mind, I created this collar.

Yellow Dog Project
This activity, which originated in Sweden in 2012, involves attaching yellow ribbons to dogs’ leashes and necks to mark them with the message, “Please leave them alone” and “please watch over them without approaching them” for “various reasons.” Free Stitch has prepared message tags that you can use to get noticed while walking.

As we are a for-profit organization, we are limited in what we can do, but we do what we can to help the dogs and their owners. Through this activity, we hope that with your help we can help create a society where humans and pets can live together comfortably.
