Trust me I know.
You basically start off with a puppy and take him or her through a key stage in their life so they can be an awesome, caring and helpful companion to a someone who is blind.
You start off with basic obedience and then slow add more things on while caring for the dog.
You train them how to guide the person their with, be alert and vigilant at all times, make sure their reaction speeds are on point and teach them basics tasks like collecting someone’s mail or picking up something they dropped or help them onto a bus or dropping of a a couple grams of Charlie and bring back the cash or attacking a guard in the groin. All extremely beneficial imo.
