[quote=Anonymous]No clue if this would work, but..

Try covering the toilet seat with pull up material.  Maybe adult diapers  or puppy training weewee pads.
See if he will use the potty then. If he does, let him keep going for a long time...weeks? 2 months?
When he's comfortable and used to that, put a teeny hole in the middle. No bigger than a pencil. Let that go for a good long time too. Eventually,  start to make slightly bigger holes.

I can only think of 3 reasons he would avoid the potty.. the flush noise,  fear of falling in or the water splashing on him.

If it's not the flush noise, maybe its the fear of falling in.
You might also try a "will it flush? Is it smaller than my butt?" Demonstration. Maybe get a a few cheap playground balls that are smaller than his butt but not small enough to flush down and show him that he cant fit down the pipe.

Im sure you have already tried having him sit with his pants on or with the seat down just to get used to it?

Will he poop on a portable potty? The small ones for toddlers? [/quote]
