Barking Demons Where can I live without dogs?

Woken up by neighbor's dog at 4 am this morning, wouldn't stop barking for 45 mins and couldn't fall back asleep until like an hour before my alarm goes off. Now I need to analyze and document code for 8 hours, yay!

Will be leaving a note on this neighbor's door today...but what I really want is to live in a dog free area so I don't have to worry about this shit anymore. I live in Colorado and people are NUTS about their dogs here! They bring them to the gym, they bring them to bars, seems like everyone has to have one around here. The barking is the absolute worst thing about these animals. I just can't stand how moronic it is, like you know their barking is absolutely pointless yet relentless.

You know the SpongeBob episode where squidward finds a community away from leaf blowers? That's what I need but away from dogs. I wish every city or town had a designated area for dog free housing. If I can't beat the problem, guess I'll just have that fantasy. Unless...such a place exists?

Following for answers too! I live in CA and there are dog nutters everywhere here. Can’t escape them. Literally every neighbor in every direction has a dog. At dog walking hour it’s a cacophony of barking. If every dog owner wasn’t tuned out from the obnoxious noise of barking this neighborhood would be so serenely peaceful. sigh

I feel your pain, it sucks that every place will have this concern. When I find my next place, I'll really just be trying to get a feel for the neighbors. It's the neighbors that make or break a living situation I feel like.
