Is There a Place to Play with Well Behaved Dogs?

This might be a really weird question, but hear me out – is there a place in or near Seattle where I can just go and hang out with a well trained dog for some time? Or does anyone have a very well behaved, well trained dog that they are willing to let me play with? I am willing to drive about 2hrs and pay up to $50-ish.

I am terrified of dogs. I was attacked by one when I was a kid, and I’ve never been able to shake the fear. Whenever I walk by someone with a dog in public, I get anxious and have to go as far away as possible without seeming like a creep.

All of my friends or family members who have had dogs have had poorly trained dogs who jump, bark, get in your face, etc., so I’ve never really had a chance to interact with normal dogs and get rid of this fear.

I feel like going to an animal shelter or something like that to volunteer would not help me unless the dogs have near perfect behavior, so I was wondering if there was anywhere where I could go and interact with nice, well trained dogs to convince myself that they aren’t scary.
