Dog potty training problem?
Okay I recently bought a dog he is roughly 6 months old I have been training him since I got him however I started school and now I am home probably a total of 5 hours a day. Anyways he is doing relatively good on his potty training but I am struggling with one thing. I will take him out to go potty and he will go pee no problem after going pee I usually leave him out there an extra 5 minutes just to get him used to it. However, as soon as I bring him in the house he poops on the floor. I have no idea how to correct this problem

You're probably not leaving him outside long enough! When he poops outside, PRAISE. Ignore indoor pooping. He will get it eventually - dogs are motivated to please!

Quick answer.....
Pick up the poop and take it outside where you want your dog to poop and show your dog. Eventually, hopefully, he will get the idea. Also, when you have the time, stay outside with him until he does poop and then praise him and tell him "good potty" and heck, you can even give him a treat if you think it will help.
Good luck :)

Use the same "elimination station" each time. Dogs develop a preference for pooping and peeing in the same spots. Make it easier on yourself by choosing, right from the start, the place close by where you want him to go.
Here's more info.
