Poppy, niçin havlıyorsun bilmiyorum cünkü bu akşam besleniliyordun.
Havladıkçan ne istiyorsun daha az bilirim.
Poppy, I do not know why you are barking because you have been fed this evening.
The more you bark the less I know what you want.
Poppy'ı bir köpeğimiz!

Quoting bod: Poppy, I do not know why you are barking because you have been fed this evening.
The more you bark the less I know what you want. |
Here's how I would put it, I hope this helps 
Poopy, yedirildigin halde niye havladigini bir turlu anlayamiyorum. Ne kadar cok havlarsan, istedigini o kadar daha az anliyorum.
Erem,

In fact, the wrong parts are wrong because of the usages, not as grammar.
niçin havlıyorsun bilmiyorum - is ok
bu akşam besleniliyordun - beslenmek is a topic about healthy for human, and beslemek is used to look after an animal
for here maybe; "you have been eating this evening" is better: "bu akşam, yemeğini yiyiyordun." (yiyordun? you know that discussion)
havladıkça ne istiyorsun, anlamıyorum - better to use "anlamıyorum" "i dont understand".
if you still want to use "the more - the more" form:
"ne kadar çok havlarsan, seni o kadar az anlayabiliyorum"
dont forget "ne kadar.. o kadar"
maybe like:
"the more work, the more success"
"ne kadar çok iş, o kadar çok başarı"

Thanks for the wonderful explanation I'm sure it's helped her a lot. I'm sorry I wasn't able to explain as good as he's done here, I was a bit lazy (haha)
