Try a step stool or get him a smaller toilet. Or we use ti have them sit we use and straddle the toilet ,(sit backwards) it takes more work) but that way he prefects his aim. And ut may be his ability to control and reach to aim

Have him face the tank. Straddling and leaning forward to pee. When he figures it out, have him stand instead.

Cheerios! Toss a few in the toilet and tell him to aim for them
You can get urinals for boys on Amazon
I thought i knew alot but u learn something new everyday! Never heard of straddling backwards!! Hey if it works it works. Both my boys watched their father do it to teach them. They didnt sit down on it for very long. Before u know it bam its happening. Heard of cherrios
My brother in law used cheerios in the toilet to train his boys to hit the cheerios
Have Daddy teach him!
Try a ping pong ball in the bowl,he can aim for that and it won’t flush.
We mastered peeing sitting down first. Then worked on peeing when standing.
Order a kids urinal it will teach him to stand… then once he gets to big for that. Get a stool for front of potty… and bullseye stickers for bottom of toilet
Sit down on the potty at first x
It sounds like he’s still sitting down to pee? All you can do is remind him every time to make sure he pushes his penis down.
You could see if he prefers standing up? Get a step/box for him to stand on?
Fruit loops to aim at.
Cheerios in potty for aiming and M&Ms for when her hits them

You literally have to teach him by showing him yourself to hold his penis down. But I alsonlet my son pee outside the back door too lol, either way he learned
Omg…I was a single mother with my son, I couldn’t get him to pee in the toilet because I couldn’t show him how to use it, was so frustrating, had to have a male friend brave enough to show him how to do it, it ain’t easy good luck!
We offered a reward. Finish being potty trained and we will take you to KC for a full weekend of fun.
That worked for a week.
Then he wanted to go back to KC, so he put himself back into pull-ups.
We told him he couldn’t have another weekend get away again.
We taught our son to hold “it” down. So he knows to push it down when sitting. Just remind him.

My 3 year old grandson get on commode by himself and pees he hold it down so he can pee in commode. Did it on his own
I always start by having them sit backwards. Pants/undies off then face the back of the toilet. Bigger opening=less chance to miss. Then when they’re old enough to understand, I have them turn and face forward and have them either put their butt lower into the toilet or aim

Teach him how to aim when standing. Boys love to pee on things so have him toss a Cheerio into the bowl so he has something to “shoot” at.
I don’t have any boys just girls , but if it was me I’d sit him on the potty chair lol 
then when he got old enough to pee standing up then let Him lol I might be wrong but that’s what I would do .

Let me tell you what not to do. A little story from my ex mother in law. This was a story about my then brother in law. She trained him to sit on the potty by giving him a sandwich. They all thought it was so funny that ( in his 30’s ) to this day he still sat on the potty with a sandwich🤢 bunch of freaking weirdos !!!
Tell him how to hold himself down. Those guards never was big enough.

I always thought that if you put a froot loop in the water he could aim for it and learn his colors at the same time.
Get him the lil bathroom step for kids and put a cheerio in the potty have him stand facing potty n try to aim at the cheerio. My boys loved it
Tell him he’ll get a reward or surprise for every time he pees only in the water. It works. I potty trained my twin sons that way.
Throw fruit loops in the toilet and have him use them as targets.
I tossed a cheerio, froot loop, or something like that in there and let him aim for it. Just had to show him once and he was fine after that.

Believe it or not I would throw a few Cheerios in the toilet and we would make it a game to aim for the Cheerios. It worked quite well!! I would make him stand on a step stool in front of the toilet. My son loved it

I had my boys stand on my feet to pre into toilet bowl. They could them flush…wash hands and get an m and m. Back then toilets were lower so with higher toilets you might have to hold them up a little under the arms. Plus I also set the timer for one hr and made them go to the bathroom. They both were trained by 2yrs old. I used training pants with rubber pants over them. I was really fortunate they trained so fast.

Let him stand on a stool and put a few froot loops or cheerieos in and have him try and sink them, makes it fun and they learn to hit the toilet
Sink the Cheerio (teach him to
lift & put back the seat)
Sit backwards on the toilet
which makes his or is
naturally aim down as he
holds on (taught my day
care boys this)
Pee outside aiming on
something small
Any reward system
Make him clean up his own
mess (worked well with my
easily distracted son)
Most of all patience

I kept a bowl of Cheerios on the toilet tank. We put 3 in the toilet each time. Shot them w/ the pee. He was trained in 3 days, he had good aim with I loved!
I use to draw ships on pieces of toilet paper and my son had to sink them. It’s silly but it worked. I kept them by the toilet.
We used the tub i know it sounds gross and weird but it worked to teach him to hold and aim and hold himself without the mess
You can buy a splash guard on the internet that is pretty tall and fits snugly on top of the toilet. (Put the plastic seat part up)
Some boys do fine standing up. I work at a preschool and the toilets are child sized, so I give the boys the option to stand. I have them hold the back of the toilet So they are leaning over the toilet. If you have a still that may be an option.
The boys that prefer to sit, I take their pants all the way Off and have them almost straddle the toilet, leaning forward a bit. They can’t miss that way.
