Note2 Carrier/ Crate Training

Hello all I'm a new Yorkie parent! I just got my first Yorkie Brooklyn on Saturday. We brought her home in this
Petmate Pet Taxi Fashion (Small) : Target

It was a two hour drive and she really didnt whine too much. I figured she would whine more because she was taken away from what she knew but she whimpered a little. I want her to get use to being in the carrier so when we have to take her out she wont whine and stuff or if I ever need to be gone for a period of time because usually I'm at home. I dont want her to sleep in there because she does pretty good outside of it especially since she is pad training and she doesn't have to wake me up to go. I just want her to be able to go in there and relax when the time comes. I tried putting treats in there to lure her in without it seeming like a punishment. She started going in there but she gets the treats and come out. One time when she went in I put her toy in there and closed it and she went off. However I never let her out until she quiet for at least 10 seconds or more.

Should I continue to put her in there for periods of time everyday and just give it time? Or should I try something else?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but i just wanted to give specifics.
