Accidents in the House?

My dog is eight months old and house broken. She has her own doggie door and has been doing really well about going outside. Since I got her house broken she hasn鈥檛 had any accidents until about two weeks ago. I keep finding nice little piles in my dinning room. She was doing so well then all of the sudden had problems. Any ideas as for what is causing this and how to stop it? My mother thinks it鈥檚 because I work long hours and she鈥檚 pouting that I鈥檓 not home.
Answers:
its definitely possible. dogs are very loyal creatures and some dogs really stress out when they haven't seen their owners for a long time. when you come home from work, play with her! take her for a walk. that is apart of owning a dog. they are not just little things you keep in the house to pet.

also, if she is really stressing, you could put her in a room, then walk about and close the door. leave her for about 5 minutes and go back in. that way, she knows your still there and wont freak out. you could lock her in that room when you go to work and put her toys, food and water there so she gets used to it

or you could just buy a big crate
Probably. You probably need to crate train.
