Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You are likely describing teething which is basically a normal type of behavior when puppies are growing up and it is secondary to mouth discomfort as teeth are growing. I recommend that you get Lido teething type toys which you can get at your local pet store or online. Anytime that she tries to nibble at anything, you say no and give her the toy. This is possibly going to resolve the issue. However, it does take time and most importantly consistency. Good luck and have a good night!
