When you're at home you could leave the crate unlocked and open for her to walk in and out of when she pleases. That way she will get use to the crate, and when it's time to actually put her in there she will be more use to it. I put Cordelia's crate in a pen area. That way she can go in and out when she wants but she is still closed up to where she will be safe and not wondering into things. I bought this at Petco.
