No five months is not too early to train and he should be cautious about allowing them to over-vaccinate the dog, Poodles are susceptible to over-vaccination and it only adds to hyperness...

Tell him a good food without grains will calm the dog even more -- puppies do not need puppy chow -- something like Nature's Variety Raw Instinct would be much better.. grains to dogs is like feeding kids cokes... grains turn to sugar in their system because they don't have the enzyme on the tongue that we have to digest carbohydrates. Get into a good obedience training class that specializes in puppies (not too mean in other words)...
