Maybe I am giving him too much at once. I gated off our step to go in the house (maybe 10 ft by 4 ft with a 4x4 rocky area with a small tree for peeing/pooping), but he has yet to go poo there. I know if I take him on a walk he will go poo on the walk but I don't want to have a dog that poos in the house if he doesn't get a walk when he has to go poo... maybe I am being too picky.
His previous owner had him completely potty trained and I feel like I ruined him. I have gone back to square 1. He is crated or on leash unless he just peed and pood in which case he gets free roam of the room I am in. So far this is working.. I guess I will keep this up and see what happens in the next few weeks.

what i find made the WORLD of difference was praise and a party
I always had treats on me and a we a little party outside as soon as Lay peed or pooped- did i feel stupid- you bet! But that treat did the trick! she still gets a treat every time she poops.
now with the bells. at first you need to ring them- tell him good boy- and out you go- after doing that for a while make his little nose touch it and make the noise- GOOD BOY a treat and out you go- then before you know it you'll be sitting around and you'll hear that bell ring- HUGE good boy (layla still gets good girl a year later) and out you go! He'll get it
Hang in there mom!
