She might have a reason to now mark more than before, either because there are more strange dog scents out there, or because the other two dog buddies used to do that job. If the initial stream is good and strong and has good volume, marking COULD be what is going on.

Pee pads alone don't work because they just get bunched up or pushed aside with use.
