if he poops in the house, rub his nose in it and boot his ass outside - eventually he'll get the hint - problem solved - they learn to avoid negative behavior fast. -

Studies have shown that dogs don't associate the negative attention with the bad behavior unless you catch them in the act. So you have to get him while he's pooping or peeing otherwise he's just going to be confused as to why you're yelling at him.

How come my dog runs out into the alley immediately when I open the door when she has either 1. gotten in the garbage, eaten food off the counter or 2. had diarrhea and went in the house? She only does this if she has done one of the two things stated above. Shenanigans I call.
Sounds like your dog just wants to crap on grass and the cold isn't the issue. My dog is kind of the same way. She will go on snow but in the summer if there's no grass around she won't. She won't go on gravel, etc. Not sure how to fix this.
