| I always take young pups like yours out every 30 minutes. 2 hours is too long when they have free range of the house.
Remember that dogs don't generalize well. I'm sure she makes no connection between her successful night time schedule and her day time schedule. If you were upstairs lying in bed all day she might do the same thing she does at night to alert you. She doesn't yet know what you expect of her during the day.
When you change the environment or the people, you very often ato retrain the dog. After you have success both day and night at home you will have to train her at friends' houses, Petsmart etc. before she gets the total picture.
Have you considered a baby gate to confine her to a particular you when you are busy? I have used one of those, too.
I swear by my crates. You should invest in one.
