My golden retreiver is driving me nuts?

She is 8 months old. She is crate trained and pretty good about it. But it is the BARKING that I cannot control. She spends he day blocked off in the kitchen/dining area. She has toys, bowls, and a mat to lay on. When we are all in the living room( I have 2 toddlers) she whines and yelps the whole time! When I let her out on the tie out (getting a fence installed soon) she barks after about 2 minutes. And barks and barks til I let her in. I do not let her run free in my house and probably won't til the puppy stage is over. She's too wild with the kids and after they're in bed, she plays with my husband and me for a little while. I run with her a couple times a week. Please someone help or suggest something!
