Taking a pupper outside regularly and rewarding it for pooping and peeing is one of the first things you do, in my experience. Then they just learn to hold it for longer periods of time.

Riffing with this comment, I usually train them on grass and dirt. I also sometimes will leave some poop (initially) in the designated spot so they can associate that area with the bathroom. First thing in the morning is the best time because they need to go and you can easily bring them to the appropriate spot.
This is why it is critical you DON'T let them poop/pee in places you don't want because they will associate that with the bathroom, and clean up when it does happen so the smell goes away.
