About Jason Lake — Professional Dog Trainer, IGP Competitor & Dog Lover
Dog trainer, competitor, volunteer, homeowner, traveler, music lover, and a guy who built his own website because he believes the right connection can be worth looking beyond the usual dating apps.
Looking for a Best Friend With Chemistry
Welcome to MeetJasonLake.com, a website created to introduce myself to the world in hopes of meeting true love, opening more doors, or maybe just inspiring others.
I am often asked what it is that I am searching for, and honestly that is not an easy question to answer without writing a book. In short, I am looking for my last first date. I am looking for a friendship on fire. I am looking for someone who will laugh with me until the neighbors call the police or it hurts to breathe. I am looking for someone who understands the power of forgiveness and accepts that we are all imperfect people trying to make it through an imperfect world.
Values I Want in a Long-Term Relationship
My friends would say I have a unique ability to see the good in those around me. I believe we are all capable of great things and capable of loving each other. I do not want someone who is quick to judge, quick to anger, or disrespectful to the people around them. I value kindness, mutual respect, motivation, and someone who wants to keep moving forward.
Life has taught me to look at the glass half full. It has also taught me to look first at the heart of a person and not be too quick to judge. The perfect person does not exist; love is about acceptance.
Dog Training Is My Career and a Major Part of My Life
I am the owner of a professional dog training business, and I have the privilege of working with local kids and their dogs through the 4-H program. Schutzhund/IGP competition is also one of the biggest parts of my life. The photos on this site show some of the training days, trials, awards, dogs, and people that have shaped that journey.
Outside of dog training, I enjoy photography, road trips, music, the outdoors, and finding ways to make the most of the life in front of me.
Life, Independence and the Wheelchair
If you have not noticed by now, I am in a wheelchair. I am very open about it because I would rather answer real questions than pretend it is not part of my life. I was born with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC), which affects my joints and muscles.
It takes the right person to understand that my world is not a typical relationship in every practical sense. At the same time, I work, own my home, drive, volunteer, train dogs, compete, travel, laugh a lot, and keep finding ways to do the things that matter to me. If you are curious, ask. I would rather have an honest conversation than have someone make assumptions.
So if you think you might be one of the people willing to look past the chair and get to know the person, take a chance and say hello.

Real life. Real dogs. Real connection.
I would rather show you the actual parts of my life than build a polished dating profile that says very little.
Schutzhund/IGP Training, Trials and Awards
The work with the dogs is one of the clearest ways to understand who I am: patient, persistent, competitive, and always learning.
The Best Way to Know Me Is to Start a Conversation
I appreciate honesty, humor, questions, and people who are willing to be themselves.
