I also like crate-training. I don't think it's "cruel" or "un-kind" in anyway. In reality, it protects them and makes them feel secured.

Although, I wouldn't suggest to crate her for 10 hours. That's a little too long, especially when she's not used to it.

I'd crate her for a couple of hours to start. But, do it when you're out running errands. That way, you won't be tempted to take her out when you hear her barking.

Good luck!
