My name is Jason Lake and for the past 19 years I have been involved in a diverse range of dog training, from teaching a 4-H club to AKC obedience to competing in the German dog sport of schutzhund. My current dog V Dante vom Dragonhaus Sch3, KKL1 is a Canadian import that I have had the honor of raising and titling. Dante & I have competed in many trials over the past couple years receiving high in trial a couple times and also placing second at a regional event .

I first got involved with dog training around my sophomore year of high school. I meet a man who worked for Dogs For The Deaf as a canine instructor, we came up with an idea to train me a service dog. At the time my parents had purchased a yellow lab for me, she was weak in her temperament but through that weakness I had the opportunity to a great deal about patience and motivational training. By the time I graduated high school I was good at training basic obedience, I remember going to parks and finding strangers walking their dogs and asking if I can help them train their dog just to get more practice.

While all this was going on the internet was gaining popularity and like most Americans I soon found myself "on-line". As you may imagine most of my search queries were for dog information. My research soon lead to me to a dog sport from Germany called Schutzhund. After attending my first Schutzhund trial in a few years later I knew I found the sport for me. At that time there was no Schutzhund club within a few hundred mile radius, so a few years after attending my first trial a friend and I started a small German Shepherd Club. It was nothing big and fancy just a place to come and learn more about the breed and to get receive basic training help. For the a few months we would meet every Saturday but soon things fizzled out. Over the passing months I kept binging drawn back to the sport and felt I could being Schutzhund to the Rogue Valley. Now 19 years later I am the president and training director for not only a local 4-H club but the areas first Schutzhund club.
