This is a situation that deserves the use of common sense, not ideology and tradition. Common sense dictates that you find a pragmatic solution to the problem. The Problem? The dog does not understand english commands. What do we do about it? Ask an instructor. After they explain that it takes more than a year and thousands of dollars and hours of training, then common sense would dictate that the blind person attends the program.
Common sense works in many areas. If you have an intermural football program, obviously the blindcould not play. Therefore no changes would be made. In this instance, the proper application of common sense dictates that the dog does not get retrained, and continues to understand french commands.
