Be sure and read the important note below before trying any of these methods. If your dog is experiencing constipation on a regular basis you should add roughage to his diet such as canned pumpkin (not pie filling kind) or Metamucil. A spoon full of pumpkin on the dog's food should keep his bowels hydrated and his feces soft enough to pass.
A spoon of mineral oil on his food can also be used but should not be used all the time.
There are two methods I use for young puppies, which may work on your dog. I first try lubricating a rectal thermometer and take the puppies temperature. This frequently stimulates the puppy into going. If this fails and you have a nasal bulb syringe (aspirator), you can put warm water in it and gently squeeze a small amount into the rectum and see if this doesn't help.
You can use a children's glycerin suppository depending on the size of your dog but the other methods are what I recommend you try first.

∙ 15y agoYou may be feeding too much dry kibble food. Try adding some warm or cold water to the dry food and letting it soak into the food good before you let the puppy eat it. Also offering extra water to the puppy during the day will help as well. It may take up to 48 hours to see a difference in the stools.

∙ 11y agoMy friend is a dog breeder and they have many puppies from time to time.
When their puppies get constipated, they get bits of their waste they have been able to pass stuck to their fur, if that is the case, try and get the waste stuck on the fur off.
That did help their puppy pass the waste again.
Sorry if this couldn't be any help. :)

yes
2 week puppy is constipated?
At this age, the puppy should still be with the mother who will lick the puppy in order to make it go to the bathroom. If the mother is no longer around (which I assume you are bottle feeding if not) you can gently rub the puppy's stomach and back to help move the food down through their digestive system. At this point, their bodies are not strong enough to do so. If the puppy has been constipated for a while you should seek vet assistance.Also...The puppy might be wormy, making it harder for it to "go." Most de-wormer medications recommend the first dose be given at two weeks of age.
