I never do the mush with my pups. They wean so easily on the ground dry food that I find it unnecessary. I do add a little canned puppy food to the dry food just to make it a little moist when the pups are around 5 or 6 weeks old but they also have the dry food available. Most all my moms will let their pups nurse until they are 8 week old or older.
Another thing that might help is to use a small deep bowl so it is not so easy to get the food out. When the pups get older I use some some small heavy ceramic bowls to put the puppy's dry food in so they can't turn the bowls over.
