How to Shampoo Your Dog
Three tips from Ania Rogalska, owner of BFF Pet Wash (192 Driggs Ave.), a new dog salon in Greenpoint.
1. Coax with treats.
“Don’t throw out your back trying to get a reluctant dog into the tub—scatter the bottom with treats; she’ll also be less likely to bolt when you turn on the tap. Extra points for using a bath mat to help with paw traction.”
2. Drown the bloodsuckers.
“Use a mild flea-and-tick shampoo like Bio-Groom, as often as once a week in the summer. Go over the wet coat with a flea comb, rinsing between each stroke. Then lather a big collar of shampoo around her neck.”
3. Remember the blow-dryer.
“Summer is shedding season, and hair dryers are the best way to blast out loose fur. Even if your dog air-dries quickly in the sun, go over her a few times with a hair dryer on the cool setting, moving from tail to neck.”

Ask a Shop Clerk
In late August, high-tech women’s shop Coop & Spree (202 Elizabeth St.)—the brainchild of Columbia Business School grad Brooke Richman—opens with Elizabeth and James blouses, and other postcollegiate classics.
What kind of digital elements are you incorporating in the store?
There’s a Coop & Spree app with pre-styled suggestions for what to wear on a date or to a summer wedding, which you can then shop in person. There’s a photo booth where you can print snapshots of what you try on in the dressing room to get a better sense of how things look. Instead of a magazine rack, I’m filling a pegboard wall with iPads loaded with every magazine from Elle to The Economist. And if you’re out of town for one of our in-store events—where a lot of the time designers will be here giving styling advice—we’ll be broadcasting on Google Hangouts.
