How to carry a puppy
Bend down to the puppy's level.
Approach the puppy from the side of their body, so that you don't pose a head-to-head threat. Slowly bend your knees to the ground or lower yourself into a squat when you are near the puppy.

OUT:
Hold a few moments in this position with your hand extended to let the puppy sniff you a bit. If the puppy acts agitated at this point by growling or attempting to bite, you may want to wait a few minutes and then approach again.
