First off welcome to you and Frankie. I have had similar issues with my female. She has peed in my bed (only once) and she has peed in her beds. The way we solved the problem is we take her out every 3 - 4 hours and now she goes on command. She is afraid of the doggie door so it is up to us to take her out. My male can hold it forever, but Stella just needs to go more frequently. You could also try removing water say after 7pm if she sleeps in bed with you. Frenchies can be difficult to housebreak so hang in there. Is she spayed?
So when you leave the house and she barks and growls at people is she on a leash? Some dogs have leash aggression. Have you done any obedience training with her? The better leader you become, the more she will look to you for direction. My dogs get a little amped up when they see another dog on leash, but they are fine off leash with other dogs. We are working (tirelessly) on the leave it command and I carry a squeaker ball to distract Stella, which she is obsessed with.
I don't know if I was any help, but good luck!

:smileywelcome: to you and Frankie! I think females are more protective than males. All of my male Bulldogs easily abandon me every time they get a chance to play with/get attention from someone else.
