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

Put some Cheerios in the toilet and tell him to sink it.
I taught mine alone, its hard af
But youbjust gotta slow down and teach to aim
Offer rewards after
We told our son to hold it down
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.

To begin with, I sat my boys backward on the seat. As they began to understand the process and go on their own, I got them stools, put a sheet of tap in the toilet, and told them to pee on it. Both learned in a week.

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.

I had my son potty trained by 3.once I stopped making him sit down to pee it all clicked together
Put Cheerios in toilet and have them “aim” at them. Then flush them down.
Put something in there to pee on. Us guys are just fascinated with peeing on stuff. My parents used to throw cigarette butts in the toilet. I think you get the picture…
Good luck.
Put Cheerios in the toilet bowl and have him aim at them. Sit him on the toilet seat backwards.

Cheerios or fruit loops and have him aim for it and sink it.
Cheerios or front loops in the bowl.
Whatever you do…dont let him play with the potty first. Dont put the potty in front of the TV. Put it somewhere that there is a little privacy. If you let him think its a toy… he will never take it seriously.

Cheerios helped mine and also a treat one everytime he hits the water and not all over the place lol its all Try and error
Put a hand full of cheerios or fruitloops in the toilet and tell him to aim
Think he is just lazy like a lot of males try making him clean up the mess he makes or as a last resort rub his nose in the mess he makes
Take the smaller seat off and set up on the reg seat. Have him hold it way down when he pees or poops…gets a treat for peeing on potty and another for not peeing on floor or seat
Give him a step stool to stand on and targets made if toilet paper. Tell him he is to aim at the targets. He will never pee outside the bowl again. When he is seated to do number two tell him to hold his penis down. Tell him to pee in the toilet or he has to clean it up.
Another good trick is to get the tablets that make the water blue and tell him when he pees in the water it’s magic and it will turn green
My sister potty yrained her son by putting a cheerio in the toilet an he was to pee an see if he can hit it
Have him sit backwards so he faces the tank & it will point him down
Stick some cereal like Cheerios down the loo and tell him to try pee in them good target practice lol
Have him sit facing the back of the toilet and aim his Weiner down or use fruit loops or cherrios
I always heard Cheerios as a target.
Don’t use the potty seat! Get the boy a stool and let him stand just like older boys! Only use the potty chair for #2. I potty trained 2 boys by getting a stool and letting them stand to pee! Toss a Cheerio or their favorite cereal in the toilet for a target and you’ll have less mess!!!
Have his dad or another boy show him how it’s done.
Cheerios in the toilet tell them to aim at the cheerio to sink it. I did this for a bit with my boys.
Cheerios in the toilet to aim at. Works ever time, it’s a game.
