I agree with not using the crate as a punishment tool. You want her to want to go in the crate. When we got our rescue doggie a few years ago, we trained him by putting him in the crate then praising him and giving him a treat. We would start out by putting him in for only a minute and would then increase the time spent in there and we would do it several times a day. Within a week he was going into it on his own.
