From what I understand, dogs don't speak english or french or whatever, it's all about the intonnation in the voice. From what I had been reading in the Canadian press most traininers that they have spoken to have said the dog could learn the 5 or 6 basic commands in 2-3 weeks of training.
Mr Tessier was given plenty of time to teach his dog he simply chose not to.

I'm not a dog trainer either, but I know a guide dog needs to know alot more then 6 commands. I've heard it takes a year or so to train a guide dog. He not only has to know commands, but has to be the "eyes" for the owner.
