You will have a difficult time improving on a poodle. The poodle is a very fine dog, especially the standards and miniatures. Generally, as a breed, they are only surpassed in intelligence by the border collie. A good kennel clip will keep them from looking ridiculous.

If you want some improvement, work on owners who tend to treat them more as spoiled children, than the very smart dogs that they are. Same goes for a lot of small breeds, less so for the larger ones, as bad behavior in a large dog doesn't tend to be viewed as cute.
