I have a 2 year old lab that was housebroken. During the past few
months he has become stubborn about going potty outside.

Did anything else change over the last few months?

For example, did you change his food? Did you stop taking him for
walks? Did you stop/start/change anything else?

When I take
him out he'll pee but refuses to poop unless I send him back.

"Unless [you] send him back?

Maybe you're just not keeping him out there long enough.

Do you take him for long walks? Does he get any other exercise?

Sometimes he'll still refuse. We bring him back in and within 10
minutes he'll poop in the house.

Don't let him do that.

We've corrected him and cleaned the
area and he still does it.

Define "corrected".

We've left him outside for a few hours and
when we bring him back inside he'll still do it.

Don't let him do that.

Yes, you have to follow him around like you're his shadow, put him in
his crate when you can't keep an eye on him, put him outside, etc.

You just can't let him keep making these mistakes.

Yes, treat it like when you originally housetrained him.

1. Take him outside more frequently.
2. Take him for long walks (where he'll be tempted to mark some
territory, cover other dogs' "stuff" with his own, etc.
3. Don't let him make mistakes.

Good luck!
