it usually drys up on its own, if it gets red hard and extremly hot to the touch take her to the vet but right now just let nature take its course as they is no really method of drying your dogs milk up.
good luck

If the dog is dry on one side but not the other, then the side producing milk is receiving stimulation that is fooling the breast into beleiving there is still a need for milk. Remove that stimulation and the milk will dry up on its own.

This may depend a lot on mom. My female weans the pups on her own once I start feeding them real food. She takes her time and slowly does it, if not her breast hurt to bad. If mom has already weaned all the pups and her milk still looks like it is not drying up properly then I would call the vet to see what they say.

just keep the pups off her and reduce her food intake for a day or two, the lack of stimulation will stop the milk being produced and the increased hunger will help her to reabsorb the milk so she doesnt get mastitis. if shes poor or underweight dont stop feeding her just remove the pups, it will dry up naturally

Increase her exercise can help dry up milk as well.

Just dont let the pups suck on them and they'll dry up by it self

Let Nature take care of it.
