I'm not a dog trainer, maybe you are and that's fine.
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.
