check out this website for tips. I started training my boys when they were dry for a couple of hours at a time. By 2, they were completely trained. Yeh, alot of it was me 'recognizing their potty cues'. but it was alot easier than changing a messy diaper! (and I saved money not buying so many diapers.

We started my step-son a week after his 2nd birthday.
when he shows you these signs he is ready:
-Is coordinated enough to walk, and even run, steadily.
-Urinates a fair amount at one time.
-Has regular, well-formed bowel movements at relatively predictable times.
-Has "dry" periods of at least three or four hours, which shows that his bladder muscles are developed enough to hold urine.
-Can sit down quietly in one position for two to five minutes.
-Can pull his pants up and down.
-Dislikes the feeling of wearing a wet or dirty diaper.
-Shows interest in others' bathroom habits (wants to watch you go to the bathroom or wear underwear.
-Gives a physical or verbal sign when he's having a bowel movement such as grunting, squatting, or telling you.
-Demonstrates a desire for independence.
-Takes pride in his accomplishments.
-Isn't resistant to learning to use the toilet.
-Is in a generally cooperative stage, not a negative or contrary one.
-Can follow simple instructions, such as "go get the toy."
-Understands the value of putting things where they belong.
-Has words for urine and stool.
-Understands the physical signals that mean he has to go and can tell you before it happens or even hold it until he has time to get to the potty.

I would say about 2 or 3 years old, depending on if he's walking good, and tells you if he goes in his diaper, because if he doesn't tell you he went in his diaper,he'll just pee in his underwear.
