Trouble with potty training

Hello to all!

We have a big difficulty with potty training with Michael, our son, who is 3 years old. We are running out of ideas about what potty training technique to put in practice for his problem. He doesn't want at all to use the potty or the toilet for poo. If we ask him to go to the toilet, he does so, but he is only doing a wee. He doesn't want to tell us when he needs the toilet at all. We keep telling and ask him. It seems that he likes to be soiled and wet. We tried potty training pants, normal pants. If I let him go without the nappy, he wets everything. He is such a clever boy, but in terms of potty training, he lets us down. We tried to give him treats like candies and toys, but nothing seems to work. I tried earlier few months ago but without result, and then started again. My husband and I are psychologically down. The nursery staff keeps complaining about him as well. What can we do about this? Many thanks in advance!

It is hard, our nursery said once you take nappies off, do not put them back on (except bed). They all have bad days but don’t go backwards because they will want the nappy, just keep going he will get there xx
