dog poos whenever he goes into a new place

I have a young male chihuahua (<2 years old) who has a terrible habit of having a sneaky poo whenever he’s in a new place that isn’t home. I take him to work sometimes, and he’ll go into my boss’s office to have a poo! 💩 He also does it when we visit family or friends, usually in a quiet back room.

It’s almost worse when he does it somewhere he’s been a few times before, like at work or a neighbor’s house. It’s mortifying. I take him outside all the time, so it isn’t like he doesn’t have the option to just do it outside. He is completely house-trained and very rarely messes in the house (only if he’s poorly). He has never had an accident in the car. And it doesn’t seem like he’s marking territory, because he doesn’t wee. I just don’t understand it.

He is currently not neutered (I will get him neutered soon) — so I’m not sure if that has something to do with it. But it’s embarrassing and his worst trait. Please help!
