Unhappy I need some HELP!! This behavior is getting way out of control....

Phoebe is a sweet, nice affectionate little dog. I walk her in the morning, afternoon and night. She goes to daycare 2x a week she is played with a lot. Of course this winter the walks have been shorter or not as much we have had a cold snowy winter here. My problem is that when Phoebe gets mad she gets mad!! Sometimes I am not even sure what she is getting mad at she barks and bites not playful biting. Sometimes I could even describe her as vicious. The only people she does this with is my husband and I. She is as sweet as pie around other people and they can't believe when I tell them how she is acting or when they hear in the back round. I have taken her to obedience. She knows the basics when she loses it she WILL NOT listen to me. I walk away from her and ignore her when she acts like this. That doesn't do much. The trainer also suggested that I give her a time out in the crate until she calms down. We do that and sometimes it works on the 1st try and sometimes it takes 3 or 4 times. She used to sleep in her crate my husband allowed her to sleep in the bed and it was going o.k. but recently she has started barking insesesntly at night ALL NIGHT. I got one of those bark collars that beeps and she could care less. I have tried spraying her with water, shaking a can everything I have seen suggested. Last night she kept me up all night. I put her in the bathroom but when she gets really worked up she drools and then I heard her choking on her drool so I felt bad. I dropped her off at daycare today and they are always shocked when I tell them she acts like that because she is a perfect angel all day she doesn't bark or bite. What do I do?
