Does anyone have any potty training tipS?

I am at my wits end. Granted I am very thankful we no longer paint the walls but I wish we could get to the potty. My little boy is almost 5 he seems I can sit him for5 mins on the potty and the min he gets off he goes on himself or takes clothes off and goes.
