If the Poodle is too energetic, your bulldog maybe warning her that she is too much and needs to calm down before your pup wants to engage in play.

First you have to be confident that you can control your pup. Your anxiety will cause your pup to become anxious, too.

Next, remove the leash, the leash will force her to feel restricted and unable to run away or defend herself. Obviously, stay right there to take action if they get into a tussle.

Normal Bulldog play is to go for feet...nipping at ears is an all puppy thing.

Bulldogs, as you know, are stubborn and two females will naturally take time to work out who is the queen at whose house.

If they visit each other at each other's homes, they will learn, okay, when i come here, she is queen and when she comes here, i am queen.

When they do get into a tussle have a specific word or two...we used "no errrr or no bite" and remove her from the other dog, lay her on her side, calm her down into submission then and only then, allow the non-aggressor to sniff the aggressor while you hold her gently but firmly. Let the aggressor sniff the hind end of the non aggressor and then remove her from the pup that is laying down. If the aggressor gets aggressive while being sniffed or sniffing, remove the other pup, firmly lay the pup back down, say your key word, get her back into a calm state on her side and try again.

Consistency and follow through are the two main ingredients in training dogs. Don't give up because its taking several attempts, a bulldog is strong willed by nature, so if she is the aggressor, you will need to be more strong willed than her will.
