Wow, now I've heard it all! LOL
Sounds like the complex wants to test all the dogs fecal matter so that if they find a pile on the property, they can analyze it and know who's dog left it?
I think that's a bit over the top, and I probably would fight it if I lived at that complex.

I wonder if it is to test for worms.  I could see that if there are a lot of dogs in the complex.
