Ds1 was trained within a week at 26mth, but ds2 is only just happy to sit on a potty, doing his 1st wee yesterday, and he's nearly 2 1/2!
Can your lo tell you he needs a wee or is he aware that he's done one? If he's not i think it'll be a long process, but other mums may know better?
If he seems ready, we just let him wander round in his undies and asked him lots if he needed a wee, having the potty at hand.

I think kids need to either know when they are going to do something or just find it uncomfortable to have a full nappy.
My 10 month old pulls a very distinctive face when he starts to push for a poo so I simply take his nappy off and put him on the potty for him to do his business and he has done it like this since about 8 month old. He might not yet know to si on I himself (as he cant evrn walk yet) but he definately knows its for poopoo so far.
Just wait until they are ready. If you have an older child, I find it easier to put the little one on the toilet every time the older one uses the loo.
