How desperate are you? If you are try this a friend told me to do. I didn't have to use it but maybe it might work for you. She said if you take a cleaned out soup can and help him pee in the soup can once he gets the hang of it you can move to the potty. Another one that worked for me is to use the Peter Potty. It is kind of cool because is like a mini urinal. Good luck!

If anyone has any suggestions on my problem with potty training I would greatly appreciate it because I have tried everything and nothing is working.
My 3 year old son refuses to use the potty. Right after he turned 2 he had a huge interest in the potty. So my husband and I went out and got a potty and pull-ups. This however turned out horrible, because our son didn't want to use the potty he wanted to take his diaper off and pee on walls, floors, my trash can, and even my dog. So at that point I realized that he was not mature enough to do it, so we quit the potty talk and everything went back to normal in a few weeks. I waited about 6 months to start up again and I have been trying ever since to get my son to use the potty and he down right refuses. I have tried every method that I can think of and when I ask him to use the potty he says no and will not go. I have asked him if he would like to wear big boy underwear and he responds no, I like my diaper.
Some may think that this is signs of him not being ready, but we are on month 5 of waking up with a dry diaper after bed time. So he can hold it all night long. Plus his body is on a schedule, I know when he is going to go number 2 every day.
Does anyone have any suggestions, because I am at a lost and my 3 year old, does not even care to use the potty.
