Wow what a rough night! If I'd had a night like that you couldn't print what I would have said to my husband!
A baby gate will stop a 20 lb human from getting from one part of the house to another, but to a 90 lb dog it's like a piece of kleenex. This sounds like a nice dog, a lonely dog, a dog with issues but absolutely NO manners.
Until you find a behaviorist (and stay away from anyone who starts in with thie "pack leader" baloney) try the NILIF method. It's free, it doesn't require physical force, and you get results soon enough that your life gets better.

I really hope this helps!
