Be out there with him when he goes to poop, on leash at first. Reward him immediately for looking at you and moving with you away from the poop. Do this over and over with small tasty treats, and eventually you will be able to do it off-leash and from the back door. He needs help to get out of this habit. Punishment won't work. It's a normal dog behavior, but of course one you'll want to change.
