Put a little water in the potty.
My son was the same way, What got him going poo in the potty was my little brother! I was running errands, my brother was sitting, my son pooped his pants, my brother took him out in the yard, sprayed him down with the water hose, my son never pooped his pants again! I was upset he did that, but it worked! He will do it when he ready, I found boys are harder to train than girls.

Boys are harder to train to poop in potty
I told one of my sons he ould get a matchbox car the first 5 times he pooped in the toilet. I lined them across the back of the toilet and everytime he wanted one i told him when he poops in the potty he can pick one. When he went in his diaper I cadually said oh I wish you did that in the potty i could have let you pick a new car. I ne er asked him to go and never scolded. One day he just decided he wanted a car. In the meantime we kept peeing in the potty like normal.

Do not put diapers back on him.
Sorry I meant to send a message to my daughter. I need more coffee lol
Most children are not developmentally ready for potty training before age 3. If you push it too hard this early, you are probably going to end up with both of you frustrated and a lot of backsliding. I know it is wonderful to think of no more diapers, but try not to rush your child through his stages of development. 
My sister’s oldest boy did this. He would not poop in the toilet but would hide behind the sofa and stoop down to poop. She tried everything she knew and learned to get him to use the toilet. One day my mom was there when he stooped down to poop in his pants and when she learned that he refused to use the toilet, she told him “Any little boy who knows enough to stoop down to make room in his pants for poop knows when to go to the potty.” Cured, he never pooped in his pants and again. Grandma told him he was smart enough to go to the potty.
A good story of another boy and mom’s inspiration that my mother told me. This was in the 1920s or 30s. The boy refused to use the toilet to poop and was almost school age. One day his mom cleaned him up after and was still holding his dirty underwear on the way to clean it. He had gotten a PBJ sandwich and had the brown peanut butter on his face and when mom saw it, INSPIRATION. She rolled his dirty underwear so she had a clean part in her fingers, went to her son and told him, “You don’t care if this is all over your bottom so maybe you should wear it on your face as well,” and with the clean corner of his dirty, smelly underwear rubbed the peanut butter all over his face. Cure, he never pooped his pants again and until an adult swore that mom had rubbed his face in it even when she told him, later that she rubbed the peanutbutter on his face.

My poops always hated pooping. I have no idea why
Take away the diaper and pullup its like a comfort.
But I spanked my son because he could run a full tub of water take a bath and put new clothes on. So he understood he just was being stubborn so he was spanked never did it again.

Just be patient. Mine did the same thing. It took several months. Stop putting a diaper on at night. Not even a pull up. I used the potty training underwear with rubber pants at night. They stay wet. Kids don’t like that. If he’s going to hide to do his business, he is ready.

I turned both my kids and my grandson backwards on the toilet. they didn’t feel like they were going to fall in and they could hold onto the lid if they got scared.
2 is very young for boys. Keep trying but beware it will take a while. Reward, reward and reward!
First off know… boys suck! Lol they are sooooo much harder and especially with going poo, I had three. Soooo … going through human anatomy I learned a HUGE bit of information I wish I would’ve known when facing this. And that’s basically your body when preparing to eat a meal will also start to release the food you have previously ate. So a good rule of thumb to start with is anywhere from 30 min - 1.5 hrs after he’s ate a meal sit him on the toilet. Typically he probably needs to go. If you already knew this, sorry I couldn’t be of more help. With my youngest I just bribed him lol. If he went all day without an accident he got a dum dum sucker… he never had 1 accident!!! 
I also stuck him and my older two straight into underwear NOT pull ups… that’s just a modified diaper!! So he picked out his Spider-Man underwear and didn’t wanna ruin them. Perhaps I was lucky with him and had already been punished enough! 
Good luck!!!
Felix Lemuth leave him alone it is common…read these
Give him time, this new for him.
When he messed have him cl
Sounds crazy but have you tried putting pure peppermint essential oil in the bowl before he sits down?

It just came with time, seems common for poos to take longer to adjust to. My daughter would ask for a diaper to poo in and I’d try to avoid it and go to the potty and for awhile she refused. I would even give in to the diaper cause I didn’t want to stress her out. One time she was asking for a diaper (pull up) she was definitely ready to poop so I took the opportunity to put her on the potty and she went and then she realized she could do it and from then on she poops in the potty. It took a couple extra weeks for us to get her to poop after she learned to pee on potty so just be patient but continue to encourage pooping on potty and putting him there. Also the reward system worked for us if she pooped on the potty she could have a popsicle and it helped. Once she finally did it I showed her I was proud and gave a reward and actually going to the potty is so routine now we stopped Reward’s and she even started forgetting about the prizes as well.
Explain to him that his body isn’t ready, he will have to wear diaper. Tell him y’all will try again after say Valentine’s day, anyway in few months. Then forget it. Change the diaper. It worked for my son. Don’t get your nickers in a knot. He will come around. And it will confuse the h… out of him. Get your husband onboard, too.
Very very young. Hes doing well to wee on it. Give him time.
Boys are notoriously harder to train. They will hide and hold onto it. They are use to that warm feeling when they go in a diaper and letting it go outside the diaper is strange. There are books and videos for wee ones about the process. We were able to get our son to pee when we tossed a few Cheerios in the stool and told him to sink them with his pee. We bought a seat for him that was a horse head and allowed him to sit longer periods on it. While he sat there we allowed water to trickle into the sink with water for a calming relaxation sound or played soft music. We told him to say “bombs away” when he pooped and after wiping had a burial at sea. Be creative and don’t punish. Encourage and reward. Eventually he will get it.
Does he have a kid potty? Or using regular one?
I bribed both of mine with dibs ice cream if they pooped on the potty. It only took a couple weeks till they forgot about the bribe and it was just a thing they did
Put him in underwear and keep him in underwear… take away options. See what happens after a week.

I bribed with different treats and when he was about 3 I started having him help me clean his poopy underwear it didn’t take long for him to realize it was easier and less gross to poop in the potty.
Bribes work. And maybe a distraction do you have a cell phone or tablet he usually can’t play with but can while he sits there.
It could be constipation . Try having squat over a box or newspaper. When he sees it come out it may help.
Just underwear and don’t push him, if he goes in the underwear make him clean it… not you … he’s “too big “ … he’ll figure out the potty is easier very quick .
I got my daughter her toddler toilet. I then had a container of mini m&ms and always had a mini candy cane (her fave). #1 she got an m&m, #2 a candy cane. Eventually she started going without candy.
My boy was scared to sit on the toilet. Now he sits backwards and has no problems
It’s weird but it works 
Have saw where they turn backwards and use a dry erase marker to draw on back of seat…
Is his stool hard for him to get out? If so…try giving him apple juice. It works as a laxative. It makes it easier for them.
Bribery. And wine. Lots of wine x
It could be a number of things. It usually takes longer with #2 because the fine motor nerve endings that signal “go” time develops later in boys and it takes awhile for them to fully mature so there are going to be mistakes. This can cause anxiety in the child which is why they sometimes hide. Remain calm. I know it is gross to have to clean up but he is literally taking his cues from mom and dad. If they are calm, the process will smoother. Plus, you might want to look at his diet. Maybe feed him some foods that will make his stools softer or more fiber. If he tried to go before and his stool was too hard and it hurt, he might be reluctant to go again. Lastly, try to make it fun. Another mom posted to let him doodle, that is a good idea or read a book. It takes time but he’ll do it.

Give him a pull up. Trust me. He will get it in time. A pull up for poop only. After a couple of times, have him stay in the bathroom while in his pull up.
Hes not ready and he’s letting you know. Please listen to him.

My lil one did a #1. For some reason would not do a #2. She eventually grew out of it. I think a lot of kids go through this.

He probably isn’t ready, give him time. Also make sure he isn’t constipated, if it hurts he won’t want to go.
Read potty books, have him squat on the toilet- feet on the seat. Offer a reward if that works for him.
My son had an issue with no 2’s till he was 6.
Some children believe that there insides are falling out.
Don’t force him or he’ll just get himself constipated
Put undies on him and if he has an accident don’t make a big deal out of it. Just keep encouraging him to try next time
My kid was doing #1 well at 2 it took almost a year longer before she had the muscle development for 2. She used to bring me a diaper when she had to go. One day it all came together. Patience it’ll happen.

Put cheerios in the toilet. Tell him if he can sink one he can have a toy or a prize… when tries for #2 put some toilet paper in the toilet he might be scared when the water splash up. That worked for min. Also try face him backwards. So he is facing the back of the toilet. That worked too. . But ever kid is different.
If he is telling you he needs to go. Put him on the toilet seat backwards. A couple expo markers let him draw and play. Obviously clean toilet and special markers. Praise praise. Just a distraction. It worked for us.

Just give him time it took weeks if not months for my little to go poop in the toilet. Dont push him too much. Give him a pull up and tell him he still needs to go pee in the potty ans just try to poop too. If not dont get mas just say we will try next time. But listen to him mom
If sitting him on the big potty he may not like his feet not touching the ground (my girls didn’t), we got a step stool so their feet rested on top of it. Pull-ups, books and patience help too. He will get there.
Have you tried any books for him to sit and relax? Sometimes a potty book or a look & find are a helpful distraction
Number 2 takes longer and it is common for boys to separate the two… sit him on the potty when you think he has to go…
I think alot of kids don’t want to #2 on the potty my daughter did amazing with peeing on the potty but always asked for a diaper to #2 then immediately wanted it off the lasted a few weeks then eventually she just stopped asking for the diaper and used the potty on her own
I took a few days and it was spent naked til 2 happened on a potty we had a kids one and the over toilet. Once it happened he got to put on clothes leave the house and go buy a toy!!
I put my son on the regular toilet facing the back with a dry erase marker. While he sat, he could draw on the lid and then it wiped off.

The best teacher is teaching! Have him teach a doll or stuffed animal how to poop on the potty!!
Be patient! How old is he? Mine wasn’t ready at 3 1/2. I took a few months break and then he started to go. Also, take away all diapers and pull up and only put on underwear. Yes, you will either throw them away or be able to wash them but kids hate how they feel when they pee and poop in undies. A pull up is like a diaper. They are use to be able to go in those. Have you used videos and giving a treat as a way of getting him to go? That helps with most. When mine finally went, I cheered and celebrated with big smiles and he realize this was a good thing.
But mainly, he’s not ready. Don’t stress yourself out. You’re not doing anything wrong. Be patient. It will happen before you know it. All The Best Momma!
I had this problem with my first child…she was daytime pee trained by 2 but she would hold #2 until nighttime for a diaper. Just before she turned 3 I decided I was done with night diapers…poor kid held it for 4 days…literally crying and screaming because she didn’t want to do it on the potty. One day, I sat her on the potty, squatted down in front of her, put my arms across her lap, and talked to her until she calmed down. It took 15 mins and a lot of repeating ‘it’s ok, honey. You need to use the potty so your tummy will feel better’ before she calmed down and did her business. After praising her and high fives, she never had a problem again. Not saying this will work for you but it worked for my 2nd and for starting the potty training process with my 3rd
We used to sit down and read books with our kids. It seemed to relax them enough to go and they got 1 potty treat (usually M&Ms) per pee and 2 per poop.

I used a sticker chart… bought a big rc truck.kept in on top of shelf where chart was. and told him he had to poop on the potty 20 times and fill the chart with stickers to get the rc truck… maybe try distracting him by letting him.look at a book or read to him or maybe earn screen time on phone or tablet watching educational YouTube videos
#2’s can be a bit frightening for little kids. They find the whole experience quite odd. We had a similar experience and it took us a while to get him used to it. Just had to keep assuring him and telling him that the poo belongs in the toilet and we would do ‘bye bye’s’ once he would actually do it and had a reward chart going on. Whatever you do, please make sure that he does not have an uncomfortable bowel movement as that can just scare him and he might not want to go for a long while after that. Good luck and hope it resolves soon 
Sounds constipated. If it hurts to go, he isn’t going to want to go.
Give him things to help ease the process.
My son was pee trained but refused to poop, at two he’s cry for a pull up to poop in so I sat him on the potty and let him watch PBS until he went it’s took a few months
Make sure he’s getting enough water/fiber. Come up with a “reward” system for successful #2 (We use skittles). Get him a stool so his legs don’t dangle. Offer to keep him company if he’s scared or anxious.
Not sure but maybe he thinks he will get flushed
Down???
I use to be afraid when 2 to take a bath cause
When water went
Down drain I was
Scared I would go down drain…lol
How old is she? Maybe she’s not ready.

Shes not ready, mama. Give her a break for a while.
How old is she ?? We did the naked bottom for two days then knickers. When they are ready they are quick but don’t push her if she isn’t . Our daughter hates nappies so refused them day & night she is just over 2, and it was a daily struggle to keep changing her so knew she definitely was ready . They are all so different she will do it when she is ready Good luck
My grandson was almost 4 then boom he got it
Let her sit in her wet pants. Not for long but she will see how uncomfortable it is
Yep. Makes you wanna throw away the whole kid and start over. 
. Hang in there. I have no advice, all 4 of mine responded to different methods and now that hindsight is 20/20 I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the “method” they all just did it when they decided they were ready to stop torturing me
They don’t stay little long. Try not to go nuts. Drink wine while she sleeps. It helps. Not her. But your sanity

My daughter was about 3.5 when she started really using the potty. I tried before she was ready and it didn’t stick. Might need to give it a rest for a little and try again.
Sounds like she’s not ready. Did she use pull ups first and then get the big girl panties as a reward? Mine picked out her real underwear and had to earn them. But she wasn’t out of pull ups until she could go all day and all night with no accidents. That was our deal.
I had a tough time with potty training my little girl too. When she resisted, we took a break from potty training for a few days. It worked for us. I think it would have gone smoother if I had started doing that sooner.
What worked best with my daughters is I took them shopping to pick out big girl panties, they got to wear if they used the potty chair, if they did not go potty in the potty chair they did not get the big girl panties. I also made a big deal about how ugly the potty training underwear is and how pretty the panties are, and how only big girls get to wear pretty panties.
Maybe she is just not ready yet
Just take a break and then start again. Sometimes that is what you have to do. As she may not be completely ready yet. Just give her a little time.

My daughter turned 3 in October and I tried to potty train before her 3rd birthday and it didn’t happen she had accident after accident. Now she’s on her first week of no diaper and honestly this time around I felt like she was ready and more willing. Give it time some kiddos aren’t ready at the moment

My middle daughter had watched an episode of Rescue 911 and they had rescued a drowning victim (which made her very aware of water and how to respect it) but after that I told her if she went potty in her panties she would drown Minnie Mouse. Never once had an accident. And no she doesn’t need therapy now as an adult

If you have 3 days to dedicate to just potty training try the potty training party.
Only thing that worked for mine is that I let her run around naked for a couple days and just keep putting her on the potty

Be patient. It’s not an overnight process and can take a long time. Take her every 10-20 minutes for a few days until she has gone in the potty a few times. Then go a little longer between potty trips. She may just not be ready to potty train.
Do a week or naked waste down. Put a big shirt or dress to cover stuff up

When I would sit my daughter on the potty she wouldn’t go and would say no but once she was off and had her undies up she would pee. Then I realized she felt weird doing it on the potty since that was new to her. So I filled her up with fluids and sat her down and saw how she was holding it in so I kept her on, once she peed she kinda cried but then realized everything was fine. From then on she used the potty no problem.
What age is she? My daughter was 3 before she was ready tried her earlier complete waste of time n I didnt want her getting scared n holding it so I waited till she was older, i wouldn’t worry they all get there eventually.

With all 3 of my daughters, I did the same thing. When we were potty training, I took them out and let them pick out their big girl undies… whatever colors/designs/characters they wanted. They were SO excited. I let them pick them out, when we got to the register, I let them pay for them. They felt like such big girls. When we started wearing them and they had accidents, I would make them take their new “special big girl panties” off and throw them in the trash. We did this maybe twice with each of the oldest two girls. They had complete meltdowns. They didn’t wanna throw away their big girl undies that they picked out and bought all by themselves. After that, they were on it. Now we did still have accidents, like if they were playing and I wasn’t paying attention to how long since their last potty break. But it worked. With my youngest, I did the same thing. She didn’t care though. She would take them right off, throw them away and go put on a clean pair. With her, I let her run around naked. She didn’t wanna poop on the floor, so when she felt that coming on, she went straight to the bathroom. After two or three times of her peeing and it running down her legs, she was done and wanted the potty. The youngest also never used a training potty, she went straight for the toilet.

Naked from the waist down for a few days worked like a charm for both of my kiddos but both kids were showing signs of being ready to potty train. If she’s not ready, don’t force it… just wasted energy on your part.
Try putting her in a dress with no undies on, it’ll be easier for her to go if she doesn’t have to dress her self all the time & she won’t like the feel of it when it runs down her leg
Tell her every 10 to 15 mins to let’s go potty make it a game by jumping up and running to bathroom with her don’t carry her let her run in front of you
My daughter was a little over 3 before she was ready . Put panties on her one day and that was it . Yes there was a couple of accidents but it’s going to happen anyways in my opinion
I’d wait and try again. Kids work on their own schedule. Mine false started twice before catching on. She was potty trained by 2 1/2.
Unfortunately they learn when they are ready. My doctor told me that the really intelligent child learns later.

Sounds like she’s just not ready for potty training yet.
I told my chicklets ANYONE can have an accident, no problem, just go put on a fresh pair of training pants and put the wet one in the basket. Magic marker X in the back so they went on right. Gave them a child sized mop to clean up any puddles. Did my best to have them interact with friends who were already “trained” so they learned from each other. Had super hero and ruffled underwear ready for them to wear when they were ready in plain sight for them to be aiming for when they were ready.
Stars on a calendar for each time she uses the potty
The thing that I did was wait they will go on there own all my kids were potty trained on there own time and did it before 2 years old but each child are different some take longer I have a grandson that didn’t get it till after 4 so they all are different no matter what you do
My doctor told me to not push it. I ask him and sometimes he goes and when he does then I reward him. They all go at their own pace.
