Welcome to YT, This is a 12 week old puppy, he should not have free roam of the house to poop where he feels like. This is a wee lil baby that is just learning about LIFE. This baby needs to be confined to a small area when he cannot be supervised, take him out frequently as mybellababy suggested every two hours, be consistent with the time, set your cell phone alarm or a timer to remind you the two hours is here, he will get to know what times he is let out to potty. Give him potty command, pee-pee, poo-poo what ever words you use, use the same words all the time, potty time is not play time, so make sure you do not play with him when you take him out.Keep repeating what you want him to do, remember, the great outdoors is all to this little baby, he wants to explore and sniff every blade of grass. Patience, consistency, praise, reward, happy dance, clap hands when he does his business is a must. It will take time and lots of patience but he will get it. Never yell, scream, holler, spank, smack him when he goes where he is not supposed to. Allow freedom of the room you are in and supervise closely, if you can't see him, he's getting into trouble.
