How is the best way to toilet train a boy? Sitting or standing?

I taught Nick sitting in the beginning then he wanted to stand like dad
Ryan has been standing from the beginning because he wanted to copy dad and Nick

I tried some toilet training with my son yesterday. He is 20 mths old and tells me when he is doing wee or pooh in his nappy so I got the potty out and also the smaller toilet seat step that goes over the toilet. For some reason the toilet itself scares him. I just wanted to take his nappy off and see what he did. The only time he weed in the potty was when i sat him on it to watch TV. The rest of the time he just weed wherever he was, so I am not sure whether he is ready. I taught him sitting down as he is nowhere near ready for standing, holding & aiming. We'll try again today but if no luck, no stress, we'll put it away until he is a bit older.
