Unfortunately, puppies Trump's age commonly act like this. Most of them will outgrow the behavior by three years of age. Right now he needs supervision and proper training. Keep him on a leash and do not leave him outside unattended. You may also leave some toys outside that are more appealing such as a peanut butter stuffed Kong. The main thing is to prevent him from having access to the places he is not supposed to go. Also make sure to praise him when he does use the bathroom in the proper area. Remember to be patient and to get him on a routine.
