Its always more fun to have 2 b's.
They keep each other company and can play together.

She might do better with the crate if she had a companion :) Is she your only dog? I think I see another one in your avatar. If so, do they both get crated by each other? I have always thought that Bs do better when they have constant companionship–either canine or human....

Nali ….... the other dog in the pictures is my girlfiends boxer and we don't live together so its just Cali and I

Nala was never really fond of her crate either. It got bettter with age. There are some great threads about starting from scratch with crate training.
Cali sounds like a sweet, well behaved B though! Another might be nice for her…a male, though would probably be best. Let us know what you decide!
