[Maximo]

Welcome to Yorkie Talk and thank you for giving this boy a loving home. Limiting his roaming space in your house until he has the potty training thing straight is very good. You may want to limit him to one room where you can supervise and then gradually increase.

Great job on the frequent outings and walks. When he poops on your walks, does he seem shy about it, turn his back to you? My younger boy was very shy about pooping in front of us.

Shyness might have a little to do with why he is doing it indoors. Or the feeling of safety because squatting to poop is a vulnerable position.

Bring little treats (can be a single piece of kibble) on your walks. When he poops, praise like crazy and give him a treat. Make a really big deal about it.

At 5 weeks, he is still settling in. Keep up the great work and things should fall into place as he gets more comfortable. His body will likely develop a rhythm and pooping time will become more predictable, able to time it to walks and outings. Age helps with that too.
