The whining is normal. She is not used to you and your "pack". Is she allowed to sleep with you? It does speed up the process. When we first got ours, he wouldn't stop whining at night. We've tried everything from the clothes to tik-tok clock. He doesn't even want to potty. We agree to just let him sleep with us and voila. He's now almost 2 and does not whine/bark when leave alone at home. Keep in mind dogs' personalities vary so try around and see what works for yours.
Leash: Just keep leaving it on her. Let her smell the leash before it goes on. However you do it, associate the leash with something good (the same way you do with the kennel). Ours did not protest the leash but refused to walked. We used to live downtown so it could have been too much going on. I'd recommend teaching her walk somewhere quiet first.
Hope it helps.
