So you're not home to know when he goes? Guess you don't know what his schedule is.
Some tips....all of mine go first thing in the morning. I mean immediately before anything else is done at my house...they have to go out to potty. Understand I still wait probably 10 minutes....my oldest will run out and pee and wants back inside...but I know she needs to do the other. It just hasn't "kicked" in yet. Yours probably will need to go first thing in the morning...my oldest two...poop two/three times a day. Morning... 2ish afternoon and again we get home from work at 5.
When he poops outside....praise him to high heaven and give him a treat. I use the phrase go potty with mine. Mine will all pee on the command go potty.
I wouldn't leave him unrestricted in the house. Either use his crate...or I use an x pen...it's big enough for a bed, some toys...and a pee pad. My older two were never trained to pads....Reggie is. We are working on going outside all the time with him.
