I don’t think there are “quick tips” if he’s not ready he’s not ready. If he is showing ready signs, I’d go straight undies, try to make him potty every 20 minutes, reward him and make it a big deal when he goes potty, let him pick his own undies.
My son is 2 and a half just started potty training 3 days ago, it took awhile for him to actually sit on the potty he was scared of it before, hes doing awesome now

No quick tips if they just simply aren’t ready

Install the motion lights in toilet so while hes going the lights change colors…and for pooping after his 3rd accident let him sit in it and he will figure out he dont want tht on him while wearing big boy pants…
Underwear. Don’t use pullups. Find a tree in the yard and designate it as a “pee tree”. This is what I’m currently doing with my twins. We are 10 days in and going pretty well

Schedule helps. I had my daughter trained at 14 months. I placed her on the potty after eating or drinking. She ate same time everyday, and I stayed at home so it was easy.
My son was harder. He literally wasnt trained until summer before he went into pre k! But he also has ADHD.
Nothing really quick, tried with my 2 yo a couple months ago and she wasn’t having it. Waited and now she is into it. Not worth the fight if they don’t want to do it Wait save yourself the struggle. At first make a huge deal stickers and Lolly pops worked for us and just undies no pull ups around the house. Good Luck!!
For my son I bought a super hero book with stickers and tattoos, he loved that. For pee he would get a sticker and for poop he would get a tattoo
Let him pee in a can. He will love it
I got tissue paper and cut it into fun little shapes (fish, stars, cars, etc.)for my son to aim at. He got to pick each time and If he did good he got a skittle that matched the paper he went on.
My daughter got a skittle for going. She was easy.
If you rush them they are going to down right refuse to even try…and boys tend to take a little longer…I wish it was easy but unfortunately it’s not

A lot of great ideas also they make toilet seats with a smaller one you can flip down for toddlers that helped out a lot! I dont think it was mentioned yet… potty treats and prizes and a dash of luck
I have 5 kids, he will do it on his own timing!!! We he gives you the signals you will know.

Wait 6 months and then try
And don’t use pull-ups when ur working on it, use underwear
Just from my experience, my boys were more stubborn
They did it in their own time
Tip #1. There is no quick way to potty train.
Tip #2. They won’t potty train until they’re ready.
Tip #3. Don’t drive yourself crazy trying to make them go.
Good luck, mama.

Hes either ready or he’s not.
Battleship with cheerios but make sure to tell him that the ones he plays with are not to eat
A watched boy never pots

Throw Cheerios in the toilet and let him aim or have him face the lid and let him draw with a washable marker
Don’t force him my oldest wasn’t ready until he was 31/2 . I didn’t use and incentive he just did it on his own time.
Be patient and let him lead. If he himself is not 100% ready then you’re just going to be dragging out the process and stressing yourself and him out more than necessary.

My 2 year old boy wasn’t ready. But one weekend he stayed for a sleep over with his older cousins and learned from them.

It is summer time. Peeing outside was my son’s favorite. That helped a lot.

Put Cheerios or fruit loops in the potty and tell him for every one he hits he gets a starburst
I was a single divorced Mom. My babysitter’s husband brought my son in every time he went, Taught my son to stand and pee like a big boy. They got a step stool for him as they also had a boy. Boy’s are hard to potty train. Think my son was older than 2 though.
Wait til he’s ready to potty-train or you will regret it.

Put three or four cherries in commode,tell your son to shoot down the cherrios
He may just not be ready and summer time is a hard time to potty train because kids would rather run around playing than tell you they have to pee and since they are learning that feeling of having to go playing is so much more fun then learning! No kid wants to stop in the middle of playing to go on the potty!
Stay home… give him plenty of fluids… large chocolate milk for breakfast/smoothie… have him sit on the potty every 20 minutes… set a timer… he will pee in the potty reward with juice / Gatorade / popsicle/ water based fruit.
And keep repeating for the entire day or two.
He’ll be trained instantly
Don’t forget to celebrate & cheer like you just won the lottery l, every time he sits and tinkles

My son showed interest in the potty at one and a half then bam it stopped. Talked to the Dr and he said they don’t get the muscles to really control it until they are 3 years old. Not to push him because it would make things worse, to wait. I did and at 3 it was like a light bulb went off. My 2 girls didn’t potty train and the same thing happened. 3 years old and they just started going themselves. One of the girls would even wipe herself for number two as well.
We started by taking ours every two hours no matter what and making a huge deal whenever she went. We also gave her gold star stickers for a while. Took a lot longer to get her to poop on the potty
Cheerios… sit him on the potty and tell him to sink the ship. Give him a treat regardless. It doesn’t work for every boy. Just have patience. Oh and good luck.
Some people also say give them some markers or crayons and turn tbrm around on the toliet seat and let them color on the toliet seat back and easy to erase off when needed for them to start over again lol
Wait a couple of months, it is easier when they are older.
Fruit loops as a target later but I wouldn’t try till he starts waking up dry from naps. The muscle that helps them be able to hold it isn’t always ready at say 2 yrs. My son peed every fifteen minutes when he was 18 months. We had a little pool and a private back yard so I let him be naked. He would get out of the pool to pee but wouldn’t sit on the potty. Yes I could have pushed and potty trained him but every fifteen minutes would have been way to much and not worth it yet. It took another 18 months till his bladder was ready to hold it an hour or two. Took a few years till we were able to get out of night time pull ups. I hope you are able to get him trained fast and easy, but if it doesn’t happen let it go for 6 to 9 months and try again and know sometimes its not the will or want but a physical immaturity that can hold things back. Good luck
Put blue food coloring in the toilet bowl when he pees itll change color
Make it a game with Cheerios or Fruit Loops that he has to hit in the toilet… all flushable 
I know this sounds crazy but if you can, let him pee outside…that’s the only way I got it done with both of my boys

Sit him every 45 minutes( or learn his patterns and timing) No diaper. Watch like a hawk. The sooner the better. Somehow people forget most kids back in the day and the rest of the world have their kids potty trained by 18 months - 2 years it’s not too early. Start when YOU are ready because it’s up to you, don’t show anger or frustration to your child when they miss just redirect them, and try again next time. Offer after naps and sleep to start because he will be likely to go then and gradually start offering after meals and other transitions. He will need to build his muscles and he will have accidents but remember diapers didn’t always exist and still DON’T in some places and baby is always ready to not soil themselves!
Theres no quick way to potty train a child. I never pushed and let her decide and she is potty trained now and has been for over a year. She just turned four in June.
Stop putting a diaper on him. Make a big happy deal about buying some big boy pants let him throw away the “last” diaper and the first time he has an accident don’t stress! He will not like the wet feeling…it only took two times with my stubborn one! 5 boys later🤷🏼‍♀️ they all WILL potty train, some take longer! Don’t stress about it though! They feel that vibe so just stay positive and they will too. Good luck mom!
