Both girls we waited for a stretch of 2-3 days where we had no plans. Both right before their second birthday. We'd get them naked and explained the training potty and why we use the potty. We asked if they wanted to be big girls and then told them this is how.
The trick was that because they are naked they tend to feel more in touch with their body and less likely to have an accident. Neither of them peed anywhere but the toilet.
When they used the toilet, we would explode with celebration and praise them to the moon every time they went.
Neither of them had any more than 2 or 3 accidents. They both learned within days.
But every kid is different. If one thing doesn't work, try another.
I tired this with my son and he pulled his ladder into the kitchen, climbed onto the counter and peed all over everything.
Your kid is going places
