Meet Jason Lake

Single in Las Cruces, New Mexico and Love Dogs? Meet Jason Lake

I’m a professional dog trainer in Medford, Oregon, open to meeting the right person beyond my local area. If you call Las Cruces home, here is a more personal introduction.

A Real Introduction for Someone in Las Cruces, New Mexico

I created MeetJasonLake.com because a ZIP code is a poor substitute for compatibility. If you live in Las Cruces, New Mexico, this page gives you a quick, honest picture of who I am before you decide whether to say hello.

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 Las Cruces

The Southwest is not next door to Medford, but it is within the kind of western road-trip world I enjoy. If two people genuinely click, I think planning is a better answer than automatically saying the map is too big.

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 Las Cruces questions I would actually ask

I do not want to pretend I know Las Cruces 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 Las Cruces 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

A best friend with chemistry

The phrase I use is a friendship on fire. Attraction matters, but so does being able to talk, tease each other, work through ordinary problems, and genuinely like the person you are sharing the day with.

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.
