How can I SAFELY reduce/monitor Penny’s water intake so she does not have to pee in the middle of the night?? We are still potty training and Penny is peeing on my bed in the middle of the night.

Take up her water bowl about 2 hours before bedtime and walk her or let her outside just before you go to bed. At her age, it is not likely she will have the control or be able to last all night without having to go outside at least once for relief. The general rule for a pup is to allow no more than 1 hour per month of age plus one hour before being given a "potty break". This translates to a potty break at least once every 4 hours for Penny.
