I'm sorry they made you feel bad. I know you work so hard with Josie. I think the best solution is to not get her involved in situations that could make her agressive. Instead play at home, go for walks when there's no one around, like you are doing. I agree, that it is not a good idea to get her provoked.

You are a great owner to Josie. She is lucky to have you, and you're lucky to have her.
