it may be a little uncomfortable for dad but when he sees him use the toilet it will make him want to do what dad does
Other Answers:
make it a game to use the toilet
reward him a few times if he uses the toilet
try things like that.
Good idea to use a potty first, before the "big" toilet. It's smaller, fits the child better and is more accessible. While he's getting used to it, also tell him to play around with flushing the big toilet (to get used to that, too). Constantly ask whether he needs to go (but also watch facial expressions, which I'm sure you're used to by now!) Make him wear loose, comfy clothes that are easy for him to remove himself. When he's used to the potty, let him "graduate" to the big toilet. And use fun games and encourage him when he does use it - children need to be praised.

www.familydoctor.org Yah, I did what Metalwolf said. I would tell my kid I had to go and I would have him come with me and I would have him sit on his potty while I did my business. If he is uncomfortable, try changing the setting. Move the potty in the kitchen if you spend a lot of time there, or perhaps the living room. If he even makes an attempt to go..PRAISE HIM! Make it such a big deal! Give him a cookie or a $1000 shopping spree. Just kidding about the $1000. Anyhoo, it worked for me and my boy! Remember each kid has his own learning pace. Give him time and love. Good luck
try learnin them by sitting down first to get ust to the toilet worked for my step son
Try putting fruit loop cereal in the toilet and have him try to sink the rings. it sounds gross but it works. Just don't force him to go make it his choice.Sometimes, boys need to be a little older than 2. I have two boys and neither was interested in toilet training until closer to 3.
Since I'd already toilet-trained two girls, I was pretty relaxed about it, and just took away the potty for a month or two. Brought it back out and tried again.
Get them to sit first, they are more comfortable. Then get Daddy to show them how to stand. (That's where the Froot loops work best.)
Also, I bought new cartoon character "big boy" underwear for rewards, and also gave stickers every time they sat on the potty.
Number 2s are harder to get them interested in. Sometimes they feel like they are 'losing' something if they poo in the potty.
But, they will eventually not like being dirty and will sit on the potty, especially after they have some experience.
Trust me, it take time and patience, but they all get toilet-trained eventually.
Most 2 year olds aren't ready to be potty trained, in spite of all the folks that are probably telling you "my kid was potty trained at 18 months." And many who are trained often have setbacks. The birth of a new baby, moving to a new home and parental separation are common causes for setbacks or delayed training.
Most 2 year olds are not fully trained. My own son is 3 and he only rarely uses the potty. Only about 50% of kids are potty traind by their 3rd birthday.
If he starts to show interest, then by all means encourage him. Use a reward system, sticker chart, etc. and never punish for potty failure. But if he shows any stress about using the potty then wait, or you will have a bigger problem on your hands (called "toilet avoidance" or "potty avoidance".) Never use negative reinforcement (punishing) for potty failure for the same reason.
Also remember that boys tend to train later than girls do. Some call it an intelligence or maturity thing. I call it "determination"!
Good Luck!

I have since put my 2 yr old son in underware since its warmer now and let him run around without using a diaper/pull-ups. I usually in the beginning had to constantly remind him like ever 15 minutes if has to go "DO IT", you just have to be consistant, in due time he will get it I promise. But each child is different. Now I just got to work on my son to go when #2 comes around. He hasn't gotten to that point of telling me he has to do #2 but #1 is good. But my son now tells me that he has to "DO IT" is what he says. So good luck with this, and besides each child learns at their own pace.
