It is also because their has been a big change . You ar enot home anymore. She is alone for a long time by herself. I am uncertain if she really is using the pee pads all the time while u are gone, because your not home, it would be impossible to know for sure if she is using the pads 100%.
I know potty training is frustrating. Baiely has done a backslide , now that your working, she may even be peeing to get your attention !!! Any attention , negative or positive , after a long day of not seeeing u , she might be trying to say to you , HEY , I AM Here, come pay with me. My Suzi is 19 months old. She pees , all over in excitement when children come pet her on our balcony . It is only with kids that she pees. Only once in a while will she do this with an adult.
I agree that this could be a medical condition , or she is very happy you are home, and is trying to get your attention.
In no way is this out of spite, or revenge . I would start by re training her, and using positive reinforcement, Make it a really big deal when she pees on the pad, and reward her.
Spend quality play time with her when you get home, too. Just to let her know you misses her, and you love her.
try very hard not to get mad at her, because she will know, and this could be a negative reinforcer for her. Because getting upset with her, she is getting attention .... the pup thinks wow , I peed , now i got HER full attention! Hoooray!
You see, it is a vicious cycle.
