Help My LO Struggles With Poo's

Hi I am looking for some advice on how to get my 3yr old son to use the potty/toilet for his poo's. We have been potty training now for the last 8wks continuously and he has mastered using the toilet for wee's but refuses to do his poo's in the toilet or bathroom area. Since he could crawl he hides himself away when he wants to go. Or will get his toy boxes and surrounds himself we them so no one can see him. He curls himself up with his knees against his chest and won't let anyone go near him it move him. If I attempt to move him to the toilet he gets very stressed and upset. He tells me to go away and shouts not yet Mummy. He's clearly embarrassed but gets hysterical if you can anywhere near him. I have tried a sticker/reward charts which had worked with wee's but doesn't mind not getting anything for doing poo's. It's really worrying me as he starts pre school in September and I am worried that he will be the only one who isn't using the toilet. Has anyone got any suggestions please?
