Single in Huntington, West Virginia and Love Dogs? Meet Jason Lake

A Real Introduction for Someone in Huntington, West Virginia

A good relationship has to start somewhere. If your somewhere happens to be Huntington, West Virginia, here is the important part: I live in Medford, Oregon, work professionally with dogs, compete in Schutzhund/IGP, and I am looking for a genuine connection.

My everyday life is rooted in Southern Oregon. I run a professional dog-training business, spend a lot of time working dogs, and compete in Schutzhund/IGP. I also enjoy photography, music, road trips, good conversation, and the kind of humor that makes an ordinary day memorable.

Why I’m Open to Meeting Someone from Huntington

A connection between Appalachia and Southern Oregon would take real planning, but I am open to that if the person is worth getting to know. I value effort, consistency, and people who mean what they say.

My goal is not a long-distance relationship for the sake of having one. My goal is to stay open to the possibility that the right person may live somewhere I would not have found through a typical local search.

What Life With a Professional Dog Trainer Actually Looks Like

Dog Training and Schutzhund/IGP Are Part of the Package

Dogs are not a side hobby for me. Training is my profession, dog sport gives me goals to chase, and the people I train with are part of my community. A relationship with me does not require you to become a dog trainer, but liking dogs—and being comfortable with the fact that they are a major part of my life—would make things a lot easier.

Photography, Road Trips, Music and Everyday Adventures

I like a life that has projects and stories in it. Sometimes that means taking photos, sometimes it means driving somewhere new, and sometimes it is just music playing while I work on the next idea. I do not need constant excitement; I do want someone who is curious, engaged, and willing to make plans instead of always talking about them.

The Huntington questions I would actually ask

I do not want to pretend I know Huntington better than someone who actually lives there. If we started talking, I would rather learn the city through your experience than recycle a list of tourist attractions.

The first things I would probably ask

• What part of Huntington feels most like home to you?
• Are you more likely to plan an outdoor day, find live music, or discover a great place to eat?
• What would your dog say is the best thing about living there?

The Kind of Relationship I Hope to Build

Kindness, humor and a little ambition

I tend to notice how someone treats people when there is nothing to gain from being nice. I also value humor, because life is easier when two people can laugh at the ridiculous moments. And I like someone who is still curious about what comes next rather than feeling finished with life.

I am looking for something genuine and long-term, but I do not believe the first conversation has to carry the weight of the future. The first step is simply finding out whether talking feels easy and whether we are both interested enough to keep going.
