Make it a game. Put Cheerios in the toilet and have him try to hit them with his stream. Don’t make a big deal about it.

Thanks for the inquiry. I can understand your frustration. The age ranges for potty training varies and can go up to 4 years. Boys are notoriously later than girls at doing this. Without knowing more I would start with the basics and begin a schedule to have him go regularly. Bring the potty with you everywhere and have him go every 2-3 hrs and reward him with praise. If he is having difficulties he should see a pediatric urologist for an evaluation.
