Is it possible that perhaps he doesn't feel the need to poop until the last minute and can't make it to the yard in time? I have spinal injuries and when my back is bad, the warning signs don't come as early as I would like.
It could be that he wants attention and no one is available at that moment, too!

I rescued a chihuahua 2 years ago. When I first got him he had been severely neglected and was close to death. when I first brought him home he was really aggressive to everyone except me. With some love and lots of attention and always having a lap to sit in he has transformed from a very aggressive dog into a very loving family member. He is spoiled between our 4 kids and grandson and my grandma who holds him all day long. We love him dearly but he has one bad habit that is very hard to live with and I need some advice on how to handle it. He poops in the house alot. He'll do it everyday for awhile and then not do it for a week then start it all over again. It seems to have nothing to do with the weather. It'll be sunny and after hes been outside he'll poop inside. It's cold here in WI but some days hes fine with going outside and other days he just goes wherever he feels like it. We've tried rewarding him when he goes potty outside but then the next day he goes inside. We always make sure he gets outside when he needs to but sometimes he'll poop right after he gets back in. Please help! I'm sick of cleaning up poop inside the house!
