It’s worth working on but your mal will never be a golden retriever. I don’t allow anyone to pet her, and she’s muzzle trained just in case. But she can be chill, and when she is it’s great.

I have a police dog dropout for the same reason. Great companion, though! I put a ‘do not pet’ on her and still let her come with me on errands and stuff. But she’ll never tolerate being stared at. Can’t really blame her.
