He can't hold it in forever.. this is what I would do. My dog still pees/poos in the house sometimes so maybe you don't want to follow my advice. My dog is really stubborn though..

Have you tried taking him on a walk around when he normally poos? You could keep doing that until he gets that he has to poo outside. Don't forget treats. If he doesn't poo, put him in his crate (or get him one if he doesn't have one). Take him out every 15 minutes to see if he poos. Put him in the crate for 15 more minutes everytime he doesn't poo. When he does he can go free. Maybe that will work.
