Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is not atypical but rather typical behavior for a puppy. I recommend that you ignore her while she does it and she will eventually learn that her crying will not lead you to go get her which is better as she will become more independent. Best of luck!
