Welcome to YT!!! How's everybody doing?

It may help to schedule his feedings: do not free feed him. Mine usually have to poo 15 minutes after a meal, immediately after playtime and before bed. With my new dog I take her out almost every 2 hours. She usually pees/marks within a couple of minutes. Do you take him on walks on a leash? Sometimes even with a friend and their dog for as example. He may pick up scents that will entice him to poo. And the exercise will be good for him and you! Plus you make friends with your neighbors and if they ever see him loose they help you get him back.

I wouldn't tell him 'no' or scold him for doing it in the house. He may get the idea it's bad to poo at all. Besides, that would be your fault. If you catch him in the act, pick him up immediately and take outside to an area where poo is okay. if he poos again/still praise him and reward him.
