First & foremost get rid of the jerk you are paying to further abuse your dog. You need to gain her trust but not his way. If she is loving in a certain place then start there by sitting in the floor near her & talk gently & lovingly to her. Dont keep moving her comfort zone this well only make her more frightened. As far as crate training sit in front of the crate talking lovingly to her then place a treat just in front of the door. When she gets it praise her & some petting. Each time move the treat farther into the crate. This well take time & patience but it well be worth in the end.
