Jet

Did something scare him when he was going outside one time? sound of a loud truck anything that you can think of?

Give him a good 10 mins to go outside,,encourage with words like Potty,duties..and let him sniff around,no playing till hes done duties..if he doesnt go,bring him back inside,leash him to you,if you have too(so you can watch him),,then a couple mins later,take him back out and repeat the routine.DONT let him wander the house till hes done duties outside.

Also where he is going in the house,make sure you clean the area well so hes not picking up that scent...You can even bring his poop closer to the patio door,let him see it and say your buzz word like "jet duties,good boy duties"

Hannah has a habit of heading to the back lot when she has to go...I have 2 acres out the back,so we get a good walk as well...Iam trying to encouage her to go closer to the door..gonna be COLD during the winter walking the back 40 at 6am.

Be patient with him...encourage and TONS of praise when he does go outside I dont think cold has alot to do with it..when dogs gotta go they will go outside in any weather...
