Hello -nice to meet you! I'm new here also. Sounds like you have your hands full with the little one! I don't have any good advise for the barking and begging, but I'm sure someone here will!

hi welcome to this site.nice to meet you.

Welcome Janna! I just recently joined as well. I'm not sure what you have tried with the begging, but putting her in another room when you have food may help. As for the barking, I have two hounds. One will bark at a leaf blowing down the street or the invisible boogie man, so I don't have a whole lot in that area. There are those bark collars- which I am not a fan of because they shock the dog when they bark. When making her come back, you could try small treats. Use consistency and the same signal/command and when she comes, give her a treat. Just a little something. Hopefully, she will recognize your command with a positive reward. Good luck. I would love to know how her progress is.

Giving treats is always working, call him and give some treats. Some dogs behave good after they are fixed, talk to a vet to know more information about it.
