My dog is 11 months old and he still doesn't know where to poop. If I leave him in the house he would poop anywhere ... Even though I had taken him outside wherever he wanted to poop...how to train him not to poop inside the house???

Proper house training requires constant supervision until the pet is 100% house trained. You need to always crate Simba until he is fully housebroken. https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-crate-train-your-puppy-or-older-dog/ I hope this helps.
