Training - I LOVE the "wait" command. It has worked WONDERS with both my dogs. Before walking through a door way, have Mannie behind you, walk through the door way. If Mannie goes to follow you, body block him and say "wait". Make him wait for 15 seconds and then say "okay" and let him through. Practice that at every door way, stairway, whatever, increasing the time he has to wait.
I doubt you'll read this, but I'll give it a shot.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT BREED HIM!!!! No responsible breeder would use Mannie as a stud, which means you'll be breeding to another poor quality/out of standard poodle. Two poor quality/out of standard poodles WILL NOT produce good quality/in standard poodles. Come on....not rocket science!! If you care about the poodle as a breed, if you care about dogs at all, you would not breed Mannie.
