Has anything happened to him whilst being in the backyard?
When dogs go for a poo it leaves them vulnerable to attack from other dogs or scary things as they can’t defend themselves. So quite naturally they can be a bit worried whilst going.
I will be able to answer you more fully if you can give me a bit more detail.

Where does he go for a poo?
Is he frightened generally?
