You have to train her so that she associates "come" with a good thing. Don't tell her to come and then get her in trouble for something she's done, or pick her up and then take her to her crate - She'll automatically associate "come" with being in trouble or put in her crate.

I've heard you're supposed to train them to come by using a leash. Have her leash (or maybe a long string so she doesn't recognize it as walk time and you can put more distance between you and her) attached to her and let her walk away from you, tell her to "come" and gently tug on the leash so she comes towards you. Praise her when she does. Just keep doing this - if treats don't work for her, then you may just have to praise her to no end (Oscar responds really well to praise and that's how I've potty trained him). Just keep working on her, she'll come around!
