Meet the trainer behind Edamame

Hi! My name is Ran Liu. My journey with dog training dates back to 2019 when I started fostering for a local rescue, DogGoneSeattle (still actively fostering and training rescues today!). I adopted my (first) dog DQ early 2019. She has a neutral and calm demeanor, walks great on leash after some training, so good that I decided I have the capacity to take on fosters to help save lives from overcrowded kill-shelters. Well, My first foster put me into tears with repeated poop smeared all over the carpet, especially when I had a full time corporate job in tech. I didn’t quit but started learning more and more, whatever my foster’s quirk may be. One foster chewed up hundreds dollars of electronics, one was so scared to people on our walks that took off into the woods, one wouldn’t leave the house to go on walks, one that barks and lunges at people on leash or over the fence, one that bites anything close to his “resource”. The list goes on… up till March 2026 I have helped 30+ rescues and still counting. All is that to say, I know what it takes to solve behavior problems and get them into homes, can do the same for your dog, make them trustable and pleasure to live with.

I quit my corporate job in early 2025 to fully invest my time in professional dog training. I have since shadowed and apprenticed under well known balanced trainers in the industry, and constantly refining my technique through hands on experience, paid professional courses and seminars. I believe there’s no single best way to train a dog, what works for the dog and human as a team and yield to solid long term result, is the way.

Why Edamame?

Edamame is the name of young soybean, which is one of the top plant-based protein source. As a kid growing up in the rural area, spending time outdoors in nature observing and interacting with animals was my favorite pastime. As a grown-up, the love for our mother Earth and all the creatures who call it home drove me to think about how to preserve it, and eventually landed in a mostly plant-based diet. I hope this story will inspire you to be conscious of how our food comes to the table and the impacts behind the process.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We reached out because we were having issues with people coming over to our house, our Belgian Malinois Scout was reactive to people coming over as well as dogs on walks.  Ran helped us out a lot and was very through with training.  He is now like a different dog!  People can come over without us worrying about him and we can go on walks without him reacting to dogs.  They gave us the tools we need to be successful so now we can continue the training on our own.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our dog was very reactive to people coming into our house and being defensive. Now he’s defensive but can also drop his guard and people can come over to our house. He’s also better with other dogs walking next to them and not having a huge reaction. Scout got a lot of work done but we were also taught a lot of things that we can continue to do with him.

If you’ve ever wondered how to rid your dog of unwanted behaviors look no further. If you’ve been struggling with out of control barking and aggression, a sweet dog who completely ignores your entreaties or maybe you’re suffering from shoulders pulled out of their sockets on rabbit filled morning walks do not despair. Edamame dog training will give you and your dog the tools to become closer, happier and healthier together! Do yourself a favor and sign up. You’ll see results almost immediately. The e-collar is a game changer!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oola was reactive (bark and charge) when people came in the door, and would not recall when off leash. After 4 sessions of in home dog training with Ran, we have noticed significant improvement with Oola's behavior. We had unannounced visitors today and Oola barely barked. We would absolutely recommend Ran to anyone looking to help with dog’s behavior - she’s professional, knowledgeable, kind and clearly loves dogs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ran was a fantastic and extremely patient trainer. Our dog was aggressive with people coming to the door and had no off-leash recall. After the training sessions she now goes to here place when someone comes to the door and can go off-leash without concern. I recommend Ran as a trainer.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ran showed us basic and advanced skills for both my labs. The old one and the young one. She handled all situations, public and private, professionally. We would recommend. Expensive but worth it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our dog was very reactive prior to training with Ran. After our 4 week session he was much more attentive to the directions we were giving him and very responsive to corrections. Would certainly recommend to anyone with reactive dogs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough good things about Ran. She has helped us transition from feeling constantly stressed about our dog and his reactive behavior to a place where we understand his motivations, have tools to manage, and feel equipped to safely and effectively respond to triggers when we're inside and outside the home. As a trainer, Ran is incredibly patient, understanding, and loving toward the dogs she works with. It's clear that she has a very strong commitment to caring for them and their families, and to helping everyone (both dogs and dog families!) improve. Ran is professional, kind, and communicative, and she drives for results. She also was incredibly generous with us in accommodating our infant's schedule both in planning for the in-home course and with naptimes (and generally having a baby in arms!) on training days. 10/10 recommend!
