Dog Not Obeying Anymore

I have a 5 1/2 month old daughter and a 2 year old puppy, yellow lab. The dog used to obey pretty well, but since we had he baby she doesn't listen to me unless I get up and point and raise my voice. Then she does what I tell her and as soon as I sit back down she gets back up. This is usually regarding begging for food in the kitchen. She knows "out" means out and she will leave and come right back. She also doesn't like to be outside unless the door is left open for her to come and go as she pleases. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!
