sorry to say this but your gonna have to stick her in that crate and deal with her screaming for a little while. eventually she will stop the complaining once she realizes that you are not going to let her out whenever she makes a peep. Its tough love, but it needs to be done. She's learned that every time she puts up a fight when going in that crate you'll back down and let her out or give up. you have to show her who's boss. put her in the crate downstairs or in your bedroom and let her bark and complain all she wants. if you worried about your neighbors there is a no bark collar that you can put on her that sprays something smelly dogs don't like every time she barks. she'll learn that when she barks she gets this smelly stuf sprayed at her which she doesn't like. no bark=no smelly stuff.
just keep with it and she'll get it.
