If your home with him, get on a schedule. if you can catch him when he first goes in the morning, that great. Then every 2 hours, bring him to the bathroom. Even if you miss him and he has an accident, still bring him to the bathroom. Just start over from when he had the accident, every 2 hours. i use to do this with my kids at daycare. Some children take longer then others, but it's all about patience. :-)

I have three brothers and for some unknown reason they felt more comfortable about going to bathroom when they stripped down to nothing. But it was only when they would go to the restroom. So I'm not sure it's a boy thing about being naked to go to the restroom I guess lol. Maybe he will grow out of it just trying to do it when he goes to the restroom other than that I don't have a clue. Good luck on it I have to look forward to doing the potty training in a year.

He will go when he is ready. You can't force him. They say girls are faster than boys but my daughter just started at 3 1/2. She started to 2 times before she actually potty trained herself. She has had maybe 5 accidents in the ast 2 months that she has been wearing only panties. She even gets out of bed at night and goes by herself. Give him time. I had panties for over a year before they got any use.

put underwear on him first thng every morning and get up and take him potty once and hour and make him sit there for a few minutes. throw warm water on his privates it will help him release the pee. use pull ups only at nap and bed time and make him sit on the potty before both bedtimes too

Pull ups are a waste of time. It's like saying "Here's a bigger and fatter diaper you can pee in". He needs to be in underwear all the time. That's the first step anyway.
Put him in underwear and tell him he needs to keep his underwear clean and dry. Tell him they are big boy pants and big boys don't dirty their underwear. Tell him he needs to tell you when he needs to go potty and if he doesn't then he will be in trouble. If he pees in his pants, then he gets a toy taken away. If he pees in his pants again, then he gets spanked.
