Hi
There are lots of different reasons why dogs go to the toilet in areas they should not. Sometimes its because they simply don't know where to go as they haven’t been shown. Sometimes it's because they are trying to make themselves feel more at home as they might feel insecure and other times it might be because they are marking their territory.
A good dog behaviourist recommended to you by your vet will be able to work out the reasons why he is doing this. Meanwhile, clean up the areas with biological washing powder and an odour eliminator and keep popping him outside. Eventually he will learn to associate going out with going to the toilet.
Do not get cross with him when he goes somewhere he should not just say "no" firmly as he is doing it and put him outside. Make sure you do not spoil him by giving him lots of attention when he demands it. Instead give him lots of fuss and games when YOU decide and not him.
If he continues to do this I would recommend that you ask the advice form your local behaviourist who will come to your house and will be able to help you.
All the best
