Pet owners, community managers, and dog lovers — this episode is definitely for you!

In today’s fun (and slightly chaotic) conversation, we’re joined by Dave Jensen, co-founder of Cops on Doody, to break down a topic everyone deals with but nobody wants to talk about… pet waste management.

From environmental impact to community operations, we’re diving into everything you need to know about keeping neighborhoods clean, healthy, and dog-friendly.

What we cover:
• Why dog waste isn’t natural fertilizer — and how it pollutes lawns, parks, and local waterways
• How HOA communities and property managers can reduce complaints, odor, and pests with smart pet-station placement
• Why bio-based dog waste bags matter (and how they can lower costs!)
• Hilarious real stories from Dave’s 16+ years in the pet-waste industry
• Practical tips for homeowners, parents, and community managers to maintain cleaner neighborhoods
• Plus: Winnie & Nellie bringing adorable chaos to the studio

If you manage communities, own a dog, or just love a good laugh, you’re going to want to watch this one.

Host, Andrew Brock, kicks off season three with a very special guest, Genevieve Becker, Head of New Ventures at Thumbtack, to discuss how Thumbtack, the nation's leading home marketplace connects people with local trusted pros for home services projects.

Join Andrew Brock, president & CEO of HOAM Ventures, as he sits down with Rashmi Jain, former Chief Information Officer for Careington International Corporation. Together they'll unpack the constant changes in technology and what it looks like to have a platform you trust.
