If this a new behavior that started suddenly, I would take him to the vets to make sure there's nothing going on medically. It could also be stress related from you leaving home. Do you take him out before you leave?
The other thing I want to add is dogs don't understand jealousy. And you and your husband don't need to be a alpha to him. The whole alpha really don't apply to the dog human relationship.
What do you do when you come home and find poop on the floor? Does he only poop inside when your gone or when your home as well? Has there been any changes to his diet? Is he other wise healthy and acting normal? Does he have free roam of the house/is he crate trained?
