Alexandre Cottin24, has been working as a dog trainer since 2020. A passion that has won him since he adopted his first dog, Rubben.
The young man, originally from Bonnemains near Dinard, settled in Saint-Quentin-sur-le-Man in July 2022, after spending a few months near Lyon. Very active on social networks, he has 14,000 subscribers on Facebook and 160,000 subscribers on TikTok.
His educational videos have accumulated thousands of views “before, I made videos with my dog, and after when I started as an educator, I continued the videos on this activity”. He advocates a benevolent education with regard to dogs.
“I adapt to the dog”
The educator works directly in the dog owners’ homes. It offers packages of 5 to 10 sessions for dogs of any age, any breed, for education or rehabilitation (aggressiveness, recall, cleanliness, etc.). “Dog training is only logic,” he proclaims.

But, no ready-made solution, because “every dog is different, and I adapt to the dog”; through tests, observations, signals, he identifies the problem, and offers exercises to show the dog what is expected of him. We educate a dog a little bit every day “the goal is to give people the basics, to give them as much information as possible so that once the lessons are over, they can continue to educate their dog”.
Immersion courses
In addition, the young man sometimes does ‘internships’ “as my videos get a lot of views, I get a lot of messages and sometimes I get kinds of sos”.

“If no one can re-educate my dog, I’ll steal it,” he says of an owner from Marseille, where he went to do an immersion course to re-educate the dog.
