I'm serious. We are trying to potty train him but it's just not working. He is our second child and we didn't have any trouble with our first like this.
He knows the poo and pee go in the potty--he even says so! But he will not go in it! He flips out when we try to force him on it when he's peeing, he cries and screams and contorts his body...
I'm getting fed up, he just peed on my shoes like a dog, he has his spots where he hides, he takes his diaper or pullup off and poops and pees under a table, in a closet, in a corner..etc.
It won't work clothing him, because he is consistantly taking his cloths off! Then he runs around the house and poops or pees in a corner! I am busy cleaning the house and doing other things, I just can't keep up with this and my house is starting to smell like a kennel..
HEEEELP!!!!

There is a book called "Positive Discipline : The First Three Years." In this book, it very calmly explains that there are a few things you cannot force another person to do. You cannot force another person to eat, sleep, or use the toilet. These are things that each human being either does without thinking, or chooses to do. There is no possible way to MAKE someone do it. You can't MAKE your child use the potty.
However, you CAN teach him that it is wrong to potty through out the house. Handle this problem the way you would handle any other discipline problem. Explain why it's wrong. Spank him, if that's your choice of discipline. Use time out. Take away privelages. Teach your child that this, like other unacceptable activities, is wrong and will not be tolerated. As for him taking off his clothes, I've never known a two year old who could unfastened a belt. Put his pants, with belt loops, on him, and put a belt on him. That might help with keeping the mess lessened.
The most important thing to realize is that this is just another stage of development for your son. Some children just go a little crazy when it's potty time. Be patient and understanding. Be firm, but kind.
Good Luck!

Well for one, watching what your two yr old does is more important that cleaning your house or the other things you are to busy doing! You need to watch him so you can take him to the bathroom every time you see him looking for a place! Then put him to bed when he gos somewhere he shouldn't! Explain why he is going to bed. Let him scream and cry! He has to learn! Have you tried a reward program? Like giving him stars when he goes on the potty, so he can trade the stars in for a toy? Do you tell him big boys go in the potty? I think if you watch him closer and stay on this you will make progress.

i know this sounds drastic but maybe you'll have to resort to taping his pullup on him. or put on clothes that he has trouble getting off.
I would forgo the hope of potty training right now and just focus on stopping him from going in the house.
Now another option is not a popular one, but maybe tougher disciplin is in order. you have to be firm that going in the house is not acceptable. maybe longer time outs given the minute he does it.
I sympathize with your problem. Talk with his doc for a better solution

Sounds like he's not ready yet. Put him in diaper for a few weeks or so and try it again. It's not worth all this frustrations, he is only 2 years old, for goodness sake! The only thing he know up to this point is going in a diaper, so you can't expect him to just all of a sudden change.
Here's an article for you... hope it helps http://www.webmd.com/content/article/63/71944.htm

You are trying to potty train him too early. Kids very commonly smear their poop on walls, etc. when they are subjected to early potty training.
Boys are typically later to potty train - I wouldn't sweat it for several more months.

I know it sounds weird but don’t let him wear any pants or underpants for a while… he will get sick of it and want to go to the potty like a big man before you know it.

Try spanking him when he does it (not beat or hit, spank). He'll keep doing it until he understands that it's not allowed to go poo or pee anywhere. Children need discipline. How will you explain this behavior when you take him to day care or a sitter?

Instead of wiping him clean with baby wipes, which I imagine is what you use to clean him, try the hose. That's right. Take him outside and use the hose to spray him down. Tell him he's old enought to know better and if he wants to crap like a hound then you will treat him like one. It's worked for plenty of kids before so give it a shot.
