Why does my puppy only poop inside after we go out for potty?

Question

I have month and a half old Alaskan malamute and we started potty training, for some reason when he starts pooping or peeing and I intrupt him to move him on diapers he lays on diapers and doesn't want to finish the job (I succeeded only one time and he got a reward and peting as usual). Also after meal I take him outside for potty but he only pees and doesn't want to poop for some reason but as soon as he gets inside he poops on first spot he sniffs. Any advice cuz he is still too young puppy? Pet's info: Dog | Alaskan Malamute | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 25 days old | 37 lbs

Totoro is very young and likely still very confused by the potty training. A good first step is to be consistent - if you're taking him outside, always take him outside instead of switching between outside and potty pads, as that may confuse him more. Puppies can also take a good 20 minutes or so to realize they need to pass stool, so you may need to keep him outside with you longer until he actually has the urge to go, before bringing him back inside. Running around or playing a game outside can help get things moving so he goes a little sooner as well, and be sure to praise him when he does go. At his young age, he should be going out to go potty every 1-2 hours, so taking him out more often may also help.
