[Support for Pet Familyization & Event Beginners] Dog Breed Festivals for 120% Enjoyment with Your Dog to be Held Near Kanto This Autumn! Featuring "Business Card Exchange" and "Age-Group Dog Photoshoot" to Easily Make Friends, Even for First-Timers

As pets increasingly become family members, and domestic pet ownership intentions and the pet-related market grow, we often hear from owners who are interested in dog events but are anxious about fitting in. Therefore, Freestitch Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Osamu Kawata) will hold dog breed-specific festivals this autumn, offering a variety of content that even first-time attendees can enjoy with peace of mind.

Recommended Content for First-Time Attendees

Business Card Exchange

The "Business Card Exchange," recommended for first-time attendees, provides an opportunity for friends with the same dog breed to connect and have fun. It's okay if you don't have business cards! This is your chance to meet dogs you've seen on social media in person.

Group Photos by Age

Photos will be taken according to your dog's age. Interaction among dogs of the same age can be a trigger for making new friends.

One-Coin Consultation for Concerns

At the meetups organized by Freestitch, we invite several dog trainers and specialists to offer various lessons useful for life with your dog. For those who are unsure which to participate in, we offer a one-coin consultation where a dog trainer will diagnose your dog's concerns and suggest recommended content.
