Have you tried crating her at night? Most dogs, once they become accustomed to their crates, actually begin to LIKE going into their crates at night. Each of my dogs is crate trained and every one except for Gracie (and sometimes Precious) is crated at night. You could keep her crate in your room or in a spot in the living room.

Definately crate her. She will be fine. Leave a couple of her favorite toys in the crate with her. Leave on a nightlight for her. She will cry for a bit but will settle down after a while. Do no give in. Everytime you do you reinforce her crying to mean that you will come to her.

Well you won't get much sleep for a night or two but tough love is the best way. To start with, crate her in your room make sure it's cozy and covered and her bed is in there and let her bark away until she gives up. She will eventually go to sleep. Keep some migraine meds on hand for people use but trust it will be worth it in the long run. She might bark for a very long time since it sound like the tolerance has already built so she will try to hold out as long as she can. After you have this down you can try moving the crate further away until you get it to where you want it. She'll let oyu know if you are going too fast too soon lol.
