Default Begging (actually aggressive) for people food

My dog is 3.5 months old and the only thing I have fed her is her dog food (science diet) and her treats. I have never given her people food (except a piece of cheese to take her pills) but whenever anyone eats near her she begs for the food. Actually fights for it is probably more accurate to say. She will jump on you, grab at the food, and hound you until you have to either put her in the crate or move away from her to another couch. Today I was eating a bagel and she was whining for some and I SWEAR she got so mad I wouldnt give her any that she went and peed on my couch!! Even when I drink...like a bottle of water...she comes over and goes crazy grabbing at my face as I drink. I have no idea where she got the desire for people food but she is obsessed with it. Does anyone have any ideas on why she may be doing this or how to make her stop? It makes me feel like maybe I am not feeding her enough but I give what is recommended for her age/weight. I am at a loss. Thanks!
