Answer
Hello,
I have a feeling that he is expecting a reward every time he goes potty whether it be inside or outside.
I would not give him treats for going potty out side anymore.  Just praise him instead.  This may take a while to undo but it should help.
Getting him neutered would probably help also.
Hope this helps,
Patty
