When first starting, they sit. After my son was using the toilet only, we used cheerios. Throw a few in the bowl and tell him to sink the cheerios. Its fun for them and keeps them aiming in the bowl. Lol

Once he has got used to sitting to do his pee, you could get him his own little urinal. They sell them on ebay, they use suction pads to hold them on the wall etc, so you can have it at his ideal height. Good luck.
I taught my son sitting down first once he understood the concept of going pp i taught him how to stand up in front of the toilet with a stool and how to always put the seat down for his sister and i heâs such a little gentleman it takes sometime but youâll get there just be patient with him
Ours started peeing outside on a tree now that they are 7 and 4 they still pee in a tree lol

Or throw a cheerio in the toilet and have him aim at it with his pee

The most important thing is to be relaxed about it. He will catch on. A kids book about going potty can help give him the idea.
Put Cheerios in the toilet and tell him to pee on them or make him go every time you go and make a big deal about it like itâs the best thing on earth
Put a ping pong ball in there and tell him to aim for it

Teach him to sit first have him push his penis down and close his legs. Potty every 20 minutes. Skip pull ups straight to underwear. Pull ups are just a glorified diaper. Remember accidents happen and be patient.

Teach him to lean i. Close to avoid a mess . honestly my boy peed in the tub to start we would just spray it down after
I raised only boys and I would put a square of tp on top of the water then tell them to sink it. When they sit and forget to push it down you will be mopping the floor A LOT
When potty training my son it was during summer time so I let him be naked around the house and had a little potty I put in the room he was in. he started with sitting but once he got the hang of it I got him a tiny urinal and he loved it I also reminded him every 15-30mins to go potty if he needs and I rewarded him with praise when he did. He had accidents but every child does so stay calm as to not discourage him. He was fully potty trained around 2 1/2 years
Good luck!
I threw Cheerios in my toilet and told my boys to shoot the

My nephew didnât start potty training until he was 3 years old because he was terrified of the toilet and he wouldnât use a potty chair I just put him in underwear and had him go potty every 30 minutes even if he didnât have to go I had him go and try and he sat to go pee for years then my mom got him a frog urinal that u hang up on the wall and it has a little thing in it that would spin when he went pee then he started to stand up to pee I potty trained my two godsons and did the same thing put them in underwear and had them go potty every 30 minutes and they were potty trained in one weekend it all just depends on the child I never forced my nephew to potty train when he was scared and would freak out I waited until he was ready
This is what my mom bought him

With my boys they sat first because until they know they gotta go and can verbally tell you there is no other way. So like a puppy (sorry if that offends) sit them on the pot when they wake up in the morning and after any naps. Have the potty sitting in front of the tv so they can watch and donât get bored. And give them a drink or snack (could be there a minute or twenty) till they go. Once they go let them up and praise them for going pee or poo in the pot. Do this again a few more times each day. Pretty soon they will be telling you they need to go
I taught my son how to use the bathroom. He learnt to sit for 2 and stand on a stool to pee I used a ping pong ball for him to aim (as long as no toilet paper is used while ping pong ball in toilet) as a ping pong ball wonât flush and I removed it with a glove untill he needed to use it again.
Cheerio target are a good way to start

Iâm in the struggle of potty training my 3 year old daughter now. For the past 2 days we have been doing really good going on the potty. I made a sticker chart and she loves that she can pick out the sticker and put it on her chart herself. She has had a few accidents today but doing ok
We started with sitting down and âtuckingâ it downâŚwhen we moved to standing up I put Cheerios in the toilet!

My step-son wanted Spiderman underoos so much I made a deal with him: if you use the potty Iâll take you to the store and Iâll give you money so you can buy some all by yourself. He used the potty from that day on and proudly brought his own âbig kids underwearâ 4 days later.
Honestly my son is 5. And he REFUSES to potty. We have tried it ALL. Even going to the doctor. He is just now in the past month started going on his own (pee only he tries to poo but dosent make it). He will not use a electric flushing toilet it scares the living lord out of him. Kudos for what ever you try and I PRAY it works for you. In my case he just has to learn. My.older 2 boys got it by age 2 (minus night time) but my 3 they were rocking full force. Good luck mama
The way my son learned, i did ask his permission to show him, (as i didnt know how to potty train at the time) i aimed for him for a few seconds just so he could see how to do it and told him to hold it himself and pee down towards the water. After that 1st time, i didnt need to help him again. But he did need to practice aiming for a few weeks. He still does get it all over the toilet seat, but we taught him to clean it up after if that happens. We tried the cheerio thing, but he thought it was a game and kept dumping all the cheerios in the toilet and not peeing. A friends sister said there are stickers woth a Target on it, that u can put on the bottom of the toilet bowl, and teach them that way. My son didnt like the fake little toilets either.
Start with sitting till he learns the sensation and knows when he needs a pee. Once heâs got that move on to standing.
I had mine sit down first, and once he could pee in a potty if he had poop accidents I got him to clean his pants out. Sounds mean but he was quickly unhappy with this and pooped in the loo x
My boys learned by putting a few Cheerios in the toilet bowl. It becomes a game. Aim and shoot big guy. Also helps them learn to control the stream.
Put a cheerio in the toilet. That helped my son w his aim. Good luck!
My grandma used a couple fruit loops in the toilet and told them to aim for them 
it worked for her lol
I taught both my older boys to sit first like we do and then when they got around my father and brothers and went potty with them and thatâs when they learned they were suppose to stand
Make a game. Throw a cheerio Iâm the toilet and give him a treat when he does good

Sit to pee and aim the penis down when done wait a few seconds and pat the tip (i didnt teach shake till later on) and wipe any drips on the toilet same as a girl.
Its healthier for males to sit to urinate due to the angle of sitting and its healthier for the prostate.
Teaching to pee standing i used the bathtub and the drain for target practice. He was not to stand to pee into the toilet till he could hit the drain. Lol its a fun game.

We waited until he was 3 yrs before we started. It was much more easy when he understood what we were telling him. Let him sit. My son has been diaper free for a year now and he sits down when heâs peeing. Except when we are outside where there is no toilets. When we started to potty train him we let him run around naked from the waist down. We told him that the diapers were out and that he need to go to the toilet. Some accidents happened but thatâs alright. After some time we put on underwear and told him to remember that itâs not a diaper, sometimes he forgot that thatâs not a diaper and som accidents happened, he did not like to get wet and soon enough he just started to go to the toilet. At first we had a potty who sang to him when he peed. Now he goes to the big toilet.
Even though I was married when I was potty training my 1st son I had to teach him to pee sitting down and as soon as he got that down pat I had his dad take him a few times too show him to stand to pee, my 2nd son we went camping a d he thought it was fun peeing on the trees
Boys all pee when they poop and if they have to go #2 real bad will pee while sitting( we all usually pee when we poop). I donât know about the uncircumcised part, but a step up to the toilet will help him reach it to stand and not make a mess down the toilet. I dont know if this helps. I have three boys and I think they all sat and peed at some point.

Make em aim at cheerios
Aim for the Cheerio! Also, yes, there is a little more to cleaning an uncircumcised penis. He needs to be taught to pull the foreskin back and clean the area. Does he have an idea of when he needs to go poop vs just when he has to urinate? If he can sense the need to poop he will be able to sit and take care of Both. Does he have a BM around the same time daily? Try and keep tabs on his bodily functions and see if you can sense when he has a BM. That can be the sit right away time and the rest of the time practice his aim at the Cheerio game. Also, positive re-enforcement and positive words for any behaviors or action that lead to the desired behaviors or actions. Like trying to run to the potty but even just barely missing it on time should get positive words âOh what a great try to make it to the potty! Iâm sure youâll get it next time.â âYou tried so hard, what a big boy! do you want me to help you get cleaned up or do you want to do it alone?â
Best of luck mama!

U can get them this potty that goes on the wall so they can wee standing up
Freaking frog urinal on Amazon ! I swear itâs the best thing ever . My son refused to wear underwear . He would pee on himself and on my floor . I bought the frog potty and heâs been good since . No pull-ups just underwear . 
Im a single mama too and I had no idea how I was gonna potty train him.
Use real training pants - not pull ups. When he pees, donât change him right away, let him feel uncomfortable with the wet training pants - he wonât like it snd heâll tell you next time when he needs to pee.
Also, about 20 minutes after he drinks, bring him to the potty.
I only remember potty training my oldest boy. The day care worked with my younger boy and daughter. My son kneeled backwards on the seat to pee. Teaching them to sit first would be in my opinion the easiest. Then once they got that down, teach them to stand
Advice I got from a friend and it works wonders. I faced my son towards the back of toilet so heâs facing the lid but sitting on the bowl itself. And thatâs how I got the pee and pooping down. Standing it was harder but my dad and my boyfriend stepped in on that part so they taught my oldest to hold his wee wee after care and clean up.
My husband was potty trained by his mother. He was taught to sit and pee then tap . He always thought this was the normal thing to do. That is until he went to first grade and sat down and urinated. Apparently there was another boy in the bathroom who thought it would be hysterical to announce to the entire class he peed like a girl. He claims it was the most humiliating thing. It followed him all through elementary school. I would advice teaching him to sit but be sure to explain to him itâs more socially excepted to stand up and pee. Use Cheerios in the toilet to teach him to aim. It makes the situation less awkward and adds a fun challenge. 
If he is uncircumcised be sure to teach him to clean properly. Good luck mama
No different than boys. Dont push them. They need to be ready.
I took mine to the bathroom with me so he would see it was ok to sit and nothing would get him 
. He learned to sit and pee which helped with #2 also. I put him in regular underwear and he got pretty tired of that wet feeling quick. Iâm also a single mom and he hasnât had a male in his life until this past year. Heâs gonna be 7 soon. He was potty trained by 3. I didnât pressure him too much, just the undies and bathroom trips with me.

Sit him backwards so he wonât fall in on a regular toilet. If he has to hold himself up he wonât be able to go easily.

I sent my son out in the backyard naked for about a weekâŚhe would pee when he wanted to, squat and poo on the sidewalk 
then Iâd take him out in just big boy underwear, after he peed in them a couple times he learned he didnât Iike that at all. Iâd also set his potty on a towel infront of the TV, and once an hour make him go sit on it while he was watching cartoons for 10 minutes or so and Iâd make a huge deal when he went potty in it. He was sleeping through the night with no accidents after 2 weeks. Also, cut liquids after about 6pm to avoid overnight accidents, leave the bathroom light on for him to find in the middle of the night.
I struggled to train my first son. Second son followed his brother so much easier. But, one thing I didâŚfound some cling on and placed them in the bowl. That helped somewhat with their aim. (Also helped with some of the elderly in the nursing home.)
Mine sat. Still do. No more care for uncircumsized than circumsized until theyâre older. You donât need to pull it back until it naturally separates, and that can happen anytime before puberty (after 6). Do not pull it back until it separates, as you could injure it.

I taught my son by having him sit backwards on the toilet and holding his little peepee down and once he got the hang of that I helped him do it standing up. If he missed the potty he had to help me clean up his mess. We had less missâs when he had to help clean up his own pee.
I bought my son underwear with his favorite super heros and told him if he peeâd on spiderman, batman, superman theyâd get mad and fly off and never come back.
Fruit Loops in the potty as targets worked for my 3 boys⌠also we lived in the country and they loved to pee off the back porch or on a tree 
I am a single mom with a 12 yr old boy. Sitting 1st is best.
Teach him to sit and tuck it in. No standing until he is old enough to understand how to aim and be sanitary. Boys are gross usually when he is tall enough to stand and pee unaided is when you can transition him to pee standing.

Most potty chairs come with a small thing you put on the front so little boys can sit and pee and wonât spray all over the floor. I donât remember what itâs called it was over 30 years ago. But I do remember my boys wouldnât use the little wooden potties that look like chairs. I had to buy one that looked like a regular toilet( but of course child size). When they get a little older they can learn to stand and pee.
I think when a child can identify whether he wants to poop or pee then thatâs the best time to potty train. It should come naturally and not forced by a parent.

You put him on the toilet every hour to see if they go. When they do you praise or reward them. I potty trained my boys the same as my girls. Then when they were old enough to pee accurately without making a mess, you tell them how.
Give the little guy a soup can to pee in first & once that is conquered then use the toilet as usual
Whatâs is the father
Iâm on the same boat and sitting is not working so maybe Iâll try the Cheerios

I trained my son as a single mother also. Boys are a little more stubborn then girls in my opinion. I bought a step ladder potty seat and had him sit down to pee, theirs usually a little cup in the front so the urine doesnât get every where. I also put him on the potty every twenty mins even if he didnât go just to get him into the routine. Set a timer and let him know itâs potty time. Good luck
Luckily my brother was my roommate on weekends, my son was hitting near 3 and wasnt trained and I was having a terrible time. He said leave him butt naked, heâs smart enough not to just pee on the floor so heâll just go sit on the pottyâŚhe was trained in 1 day and only 1 accident.

Got my son and nephew I put a cheerio in the toilet and had them aim at it (try to sink it) it worked wonders! I had them sit for poops and stand for pees. My son is uncircumcised as well. As long as showers and bathing he is able to maintain cleanliness he has never had any issues thankfully

With my son I got him a floor size potty that looks like a toilet that makes flush noises. I tried everything to get him potty trained but he wouldnât do it. His doctor told me to wait until he was ready and could tell me he had to go. He wasnât fully potty trained until after his 4th birthdayâŚâŚ I also let him run around naked which helped alot too
My son sits to pee and so does my dad. Nothing wrong with that. Iâve heard the Cheerios thing works too. Iâm about to go through it with my almost 3 year old too. No clue what Iâm doing because my oldest is 11 and I canât remember how we taught him! 
This may sound weird, lol. But try getting him to pee outside (if you donât live around a bunch of houses) that helped my son out with potty training a lot! You can also put some kind of target thing in the toilet and let him aim at it and see if he can hit it. Iâm not to sure about pooping though because when he was ready to poop he went straight to the bathroom he couldnât stand doing it on himself.
My son first learned by sitting down on the toilet rather than standing and aiming. He then learnt to stand and pee and aim. Takes a lot of patience. From the time he was 2-3 I tried many times, if they arenât ready they arenât ready. Thatâs all that I have learnt since.

Definitely start with sitting! Your floors and walls will thank you! Not really anything extra needed with him being intact, just wipe the tip with toilet paper like you would otherwise. With my son he actually was more comfortable going in the tub to begin with whatever way they are comfortable just go with it but itâs easiest IMO if you can just keep them naked on the bottom as much as possible. Let him go bottomless and work on going to the potty and he will start to feel it quickly.
I had my boys sit first and then as thry got bigger i let them pee on trees
I have 3 little boys! I potty trained them all sitting to start with. As they got older they peed standing up. Peeing came very easily for my boys. It was #2 that took them a little longer to get comfortable with! When you decide to start just be fully dedicated. Set and alarm for every 15 minutes and just go sit him on the potty. You can adjust the time depending on your child. My second one we had to eventually take away diapers completely because he knew as long as he had one on he could pee in it.

We taught our son to sit first. Kept a kid potty in the bathroom to make it easy. As he got comfortable & bigger, lol, we used Fruit Loops. If he âhitâ one, he got a point. So many points by Fri, he got Hot Wheels. (That was his thing. )
Between us & daycare, he was potty trained by age 2.
