One simple way to "train" mulberry trees is to grow them as understory trees. The lack of sunlight and competition for moisture keeps them smaller.

Mulberries root very easily for me from dormant hardwood cuttings.

I would consider changing several trees over to Geraldi.
It is a genetic dwarf with nodes very close together. With the
nodes very close together on new growth more fruit per
unit length forms.  And you can reach all the fruit each year.
