Diarrhea in puppies is almost always due to intestinal parasites - either worms or protozoan parasites. I suggest you have a fecal test done at your vet's office to rule those in/out. In the meantime you can start him on a probiotic (one made for dogs, not humans) and keep him on a consistent diet. No treats or human foods until the diarrhea has resolved.
