Trainers & Staff

Professional trainers. Attentive friendly staff.

Jon Langdon

Jon LangdonOwner/Head Trainer

I have had dogs in my life since the day I was born and they have always been a passion of mine. I grew up watching the local K9 unit train in my family’s business warehouse. Watching these amazing dogs work sparked my interest in training.

I started working with our Denver Sit Means Sit location in 2006 and opened the South Denver location in 2009.

Since then I have competed in many different sports with my own dogs, and even gone on to compete at National and World Championships in Dock Dogs.

I really enjoy the experiences that I have had with my own dogs. My goal is to pass that onto all of my clients. I know what it is like to have a well behaved dog and all of the pleasures they bring to each and every day.

Tami Woodrich

Tami WoodrichOffice Manager

Hi I’m Tami! I’ve been working with South Denver Sit Means Sit since 2012! I love exploring with my husband, two kids and our dogs, Mia and Shadow. I’m the voice you hear when you call us.

I strive to match you with our trainers so you can have as much fun with your furry family members as we do with ours. My goal is to ensure you have a smooth and pleasant experience while obtaining training.

Denver Dog Trainer - Meghanne - Sit Means Sit South Denver

Meghanne EdwardsTraining Manager

Growing up on a farm gave Meghanne her passion for animals, no matter what they were! She grew up working with cows, poultry and their family Cattle Dog, Blue. After Blue’s passing they got a couple more pups and Meg was quick to start wanting to train them, this was where her passion for dogs began to shine. When she went off to college she knew she wanted to pursue a career in animal care and went down the Marine Biology path at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW). This was where she met her partner and his dog, Rilla, who happened to be previous Sit Means Sit clients. Learning the methodology from them she quickly began working with Rilla, growing her passion for dogs and sparking her passion for dog training.

After moving to Charlotte, N.C. by herself, Meghanne started her career as a caretaker for all kinds of reptiles and fish and even though she loved the animals, she knew something was still missing. A few months after the move, they unfortunately lost Rilla to cancer. Being without a dog for several months made her realize how much she loved having the companionship and she quickly adopted her fur baby, Shiloh, regaining her passion for training. Realizing that coming home to train Shiloh was always the highlight of her day, as soon as she saw the posting for a Trainer position at Sit Means Sit she knew she had to apply.

After working and thriving at Sit Means Sit Charlotte, the opportunity arose to move out west but Meghanne didn’t want to leave the Sit Means Sit family and found a position with the team at Sit Means Sit South Denver. Meghanne is thrilled to be working with pups in the greater Denver area now and looks forward to meeting you and your pup!

When Meg isn’t training dogs at work she’s out with Shi working on new tricks, playing video games, or off somewhere on an adventure (probably hiking now in Denver!).

Kathy Jacobson

Kathy JacobsonTrainer

Kathy Jacobson is a dog trainer who enjoys learning and interacting with people and animals. She has life experience working with people in a variety of situations as a wife/mother/grandmother, mentor, through work as an ASL interpreter, and more than two decades of directing programs/activities for youth.

She and her husband discovered Sit Means Sit when an exuberant Irish terrier came into their family that necessitated better structure than was used with previous pets. With the SMS method they observed the transformation of their dog and many others, both easy and difficult. As Kathy continued to challenge herself and Braeghan an opportunity to join the SMS team in South Denver provided the chance to elevate her knowledge and training abilities. Kathy’s current interest is to become an evaluator for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification.

What I enjoy most about the SMS training is that it’s attention based. It’s amazing how many opportunities are created when you can have your dog’s attention on you, when you ask for it. Knowledge is at the forefront, it’s ongoing for me, then I can share with others the same confidence I have when taking my dog with me wherever I go. The most rewarding parts are seeing the smiles, trust, and balance people can achieve through their commitment to the human-canine relationship. My girl is happy, attentive, responsive, knows her limits, is well socialized, and is a joy to be around. Kathy’s Irish terrier, Braeghan (now 3), loves the outdoors, tracking/chasing rabbits, and likes to be busy as much as lounging. They’ve earned their CGC/A/U and together are members of the GO TEAM (therapy dogs).

Sit Means Sit Dog Training Littleton Colorado

Lydia BieryTrainer

Hi! I’m Lydia, I am one of the trainers at Sit Means Sit South Denver. My career has gone every which way, I started with cosmetology school and after graduating I realized that wasn’t the profession I wanted to pursue. No matter what job I ended up in I felt as if something was missing. I knew I had a passion for animals but didn’t know where that lead.

I started working at a doggy daycare and worked there for awhile. While there, I realized that it was my passion to work with dogs. I knew I wanted to be a dog trainer while I worked with the dogs in group play trying to get all of them in a sit or try new tricks. Soon after I found my career at Sit Means Sit!

I’m a Colorado native who loves going on hikes, doing art, and listening to music. If you can’t find me I’m probably out with my dog Ruger, doing my nails, or jamming out to new music while on a hike.

5 Star Reviews

We love customers and their dogs. They love us.

John M.

Jon and his team of trainers are excellent! In only three weeks we have seen a tremendous improvement in our young dog. After months of her escaping, chewing up everything in the house, and being unruly, Sit Means Sit has changed her behavior and ours. I cannot recommend their services enough.

Richard B.

Thank you Jon and crew. We get compliments all the time on how well behaved our malinois Ammo is. The training is phenomenal. Training a high energy breed like a malinois takes true talent.

Grant D.

Jon and everyone at Sit Means Sit were great! I am constantly complimented on how Gus interacts with other dogs and people. Jon and his team created a tailored approach to fit Gus’ breed and abilities. I would 100% recommend this group.

Tyler F.

Sit Means Sit has been incredible so far! Jon and his staff have done a phenomenal job so far, and have helped out our 9 month old goldendoodle tremendously. We had looked into multiple training classes prior to choosing Sit Means Sit, and was the clear choice for us. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!
