Hi HollySpringer,
What you describe, a pup straining to pee seven times in half an hour, is a sign of Urinary Tract Infection.
It's not uncommon in bitch puppies. It has to be treated, though. She needs a trip to the vet in the morning. A course of antibiotics will quickly help. If not treated, it can spread upwards, through bladder to kidneys in the end. By then you have a very sick pup. So not something to ignore, hoping it will go away. Good luck!
