I would put the potty pads in the hallway where she pees when you're not home and take her for more frequent walks when you are. Dogs are very much creatures of habit and their brains get "programmed" to do certain things in certain ways. She may know how to indicate, but maybe she only associates indicating with Bo and thinks it's okay to pee on the floor other times. Or maybe she just doesn't feel like indicating. I mean, I know how to keep my house spotless, but I don't......And scolding her for peeing in the hallway only works if you catch her actually peeing. If she's been scolded often for peeing, she may be associating peeing with being in trouble and is holding it back until she can't wait any more, or Bo gets home. Dogs can be weird. Walk her often, and every time she does pee outside, reward her with praise, scratches in her yummy places and maybe a little treat. Get her brain programmed to think "oooh, when I pee out here, something nice happens!" Take some extra trouble to keep an eye on her at all times, and when she heads to the hallway, take her outside. It will take some time and effort, but she will get it eventually.
