Make sure the puppy has a clean dish, made of stainless steel if possible, in which you have put clean, cold, fresh water. If the dog still does not drink from the bowl, you should contact your vet because it's very unusual for a dog not to drink water.

Sometimes you can make dog's water more appealing to them by adding a SMALL amount of chicken or beef broth (very small amount: there is a lot of sodium in broth, which is unhealthy for dogs). It could be the puppy just needs to "learn" that that is his water to drink.

I'm not a dog expert but I don't think that giving young puppies water should be advised, let them drink from their mother, if you don't have a mother with the puppy give him milk, unpasteurised is probably best.
