20 week old pup lost all his ability to "hold it"?

I'm just sort of assuming it has to be the other dog becuase he was doing fabulous before she came along. I work from home and while I'd take him out whenever I took breaks (so he'd get 2 x 15 minutes and a 30 minute "outside" break) during the day; the few times I had to work through from say 8-12 or 12.30-4.30 he'd hold it and only come scratch me if he was totally desperate.

Literally since the other dog came along, he'll go outside, come in 5 minutes later and immediatley pee on the floor. Or he'll go outside, poop a little, come in and 10 minutes later I get the waft that lets me know he's finished his business inside. Earlier today he was playing with her and just stopped and squatted right where he was - thankfully my husband was quick enough to scoop him up and take him out.

Husband is saying that it's probably got more to do with transitioning from 3 meals a day to 2 so now he's got to poop larger volume less often so he's not sure if he's done yet. (Gross TMI but ya know).
