I just say "go to bed" and she goes, and I reward her with a treat. The door is only closed when we leave the house or go to bed for the night. She often goes in herself to relax or hang out when we are home and she just wants a break, so I don't think she dislikes or is afraid of it. When she has less destructive tendencies I'll give her the run of the house, but until then this works for everyone.
