How to stop my puppy from moving potty pads and pooping on the carpet?

Question

My puppy poops on the pad and then moves it to my carpet. Ever since he’s started doing that, he’s beginning to poop on the carpet. Every time he does I tell him a stern “no” once he’s done. I clean my carpet thoroughly every time but he still keeps pooping there. How can I help him go back on the pad? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 3 months and 13 days old | 14.4 lbs

You can start with the pad on the carpet where he goes. Each time he doe sit correctly give him a treat. Then you gradually start moving it back to where you want it and still reward him each time. The other option is start taping the edges down so he can't move the pad anymore and limit his roam of the house. Keep him confined to a smaller area until he gets better. At his age, it is very early for him to be house trained, so keep trying, he will get there over the next month
