LOL Tyson is definitely telling you he does not want the poo to continue living in your house, his nose is now out of joint.
He also may feel you are fussing over the new dog and he is upset.
I tell clients who have a dog and buy a new puppy from me to put their first dog FIRST and pay less attention to the new puppy or give the puppy attention away from the older housedogs.. It works.
Eventually your Tyson will realize that the puppy will NOT go away and he will have to start behaving.
A dog that is upset with his master I had found out will always poop this means he will get a reaction which to a dog is better than no reaction at all.
Are you fussing and spending way too much time with the new pup and not enough with your other dogs, this may be the reason, so try to lavish attention on Tyson which may correct his behavior.
I have a friend who miniature goes on top of her bed and pees and poos on the spread when his owner leaves him alone at home. I told her to cage him if the behavior does not stop. She did and he learnt that if he continues to poo and pee on her bed he will be caged and segregated from the rest of the dogs and it worked. Cage your boy and reprimand him if and when you find him doing it..
If you cant catch him in his action, dont even bother scolding him , but only when you catch him.. If you cant be around him all the time, safest way is to cage him.. Trust me he is not peeing and pooping because he wants to go out he has an upper paw on you and he uses whatever means to show you he is displeased.. Also he may also be marking his territorry given there is a new pup in the house.
Cage him or put an ex pen around a certain area and keep him gated in order to curb his action.
