Again, use a damp cloth and do it often. The young pup will get used to it and not put up too much of a fuss. The goo can and will stain the area if you don't do this from puppy-hood.

first check with your vet to see if it isnt an infection or anything, then
You can clean your pet’s face and eyes with a soft wet washcloth as you would your own. Do not put anything in your pet’s eyes for cleaning unless it is recommended by your veterinarian. Some breeds of cats and dogs (Shi- Tzu, Lhasa Apso, Pekingese, Pugs, and Himalayan and Persians cats) have eyes that produce tears on a regular basis to lubricate and protect their protruding eyes. These tears contain acidic properties that can stain the fur around their eyes producing brown discoloration on a white fur, and bleached discoloration on dark fur. For these breeds you can clean the stained fur with a cotton ball and some peroxide (Make sure NOT to get it their eyes) You can also apply a safe homeopathic ointment (ie.Homeoplasmine from Boiron) around the eyes to help keep the eyes moist at all times.

A wet washcloth should do the trick. There are also products available to remove tear stains. If there is a lot of discharge, you might want to consult a vet to make sure she doesn't have an eye infection.

Take her to her vet to make sure it is not an infection.
You can clean her eyes with a warm wet washcloth. Be sure to be gentle.

You take a cotton ball with a little bit of water and wipe it off.
It could be pus or something gross.

when she's still sleepy, I gently just take off the eye **** with my fingers! some breeds are just prone to "morning eye boogies!"
