Make sure she has toys available - at least one toy in each room. I recommend getting a bunch (maybe 10) of the same textured-toy (rubber, for instance) for training. Whenever she has something in her mouth she shouldn't, tell her to drop it, then give her a toy. Praise her when she chews her stuff. Once she understands what not to chew on you can start to give her other toys of different textures. It seems that some dogs believe the world is their toy box when they are given many different types of toys as pups.
When you are not able to supervise her, keep her confined. This will not allow her access to things to chew on other than what you provide her.
Bitter Apple, mouthwash, or diluted hot sauce can be used on items that she tries to chew that can not be put away (furniture, baseboards, etc.). Otherwise, puppy-proof and keep items such as shoes, remote controls, dvds, glasses and such out of her reach.
By the way, it's Standard Poodle, not French Poodle. Sorry, but that's one of my pet peeves. Not only is that not the breed name, but they aren't French! They are German.
Good luck with your pup - it's a great breed!

I've had success with the sour apple spray as mentioned above.
OR
There are collars that spray water right in the dog's face when they try to bark or bite something. There are electric and sound collars too.
OR
Maybe you just need to smack the shizznit outta that ankle biter until he learns...

If you haven't gotten her toys then do so, since she IS A PUPPY she is going to want something to chew on (not much different from a human baby) dos usually like squeeky toys, rawhide bones, and rope bones.

for the furnature you can get this stuff called stay-off. spray it lightly on whatever the puppy is chewing on, and it should keep it away from them. but becareful what you spray it on to make sure it wont damage anything.
