free stitch is pleased to announce that reservations are now open for our Autumn / Winter 2025 Meetup festivals. 

Every year free stitch holds special Meetup events for various dog breeds where owners and dogs can enjoy a wide range of activities, ranging from agility competitions to raffles and tombolas.

The following breeds have been scheduled for the Autumn / Winter 2025 season:

Venues are located in the Kanto area in Japan. Please check each summary page for more details.

Join our free stitch Meetup events to improve your dog’s training and manners, making them enjoyable even for new owners. Whether you’re a newcomer or a regular, we’d love to welcome you and help you expand your pet network.

We’re excited to announce a photo contest on social media leading up to the event. Encourage your friends to sign up!

The money raised from the entry fee will be used to fund charitable activities that raise awareness and help solve issues in the pet industry in Japan. By encouraging more people to participate, we can help you and your dog lead a more fulfilling life together.

Please note that we currently offer Meetup events only in Japanese, but everyone is welcome to attend.
