Hi Cathie, I'm having the same fears, we are in the middle of nowhere with lots of hawks and coyote. I thought I would train Gunner to go inside on a pee pee pad, but he has different ideas. He will hold it all night until my husband gets up at 5am.
Stay with him in the yard, let him play, but make sure you tell him to go potty. If he doesn't within a few minutes, take him inside and put him in the pen. Eventually he will understand that he has to potty outside to be able to play inside. And remember, lots and lots of praise!
