Ok, Dom is to start preschool Sept. 6, and he's still working on pottytrainig. He has done SOOO well, but he still has some accidents. They have to be pottytrained for preschool, but they allow the kids to wear pull-ups until October, so they can adjust. When I put a pull-up or diaper on him, he instantly goes in it out of habit. But, if I put underwear on him, he will hold it and eventually go on the potty or have an accident. So, do you think I should send him in a pull-up or underwear?

I think you should explain to him about preschool and what they require of him in the potty dept.
Let him know, if he does wear a pull up, that this is just in case and he should still try to go in the potty.
Let him know that in order for him to go, he has to go on the potty.
Good luck.

I would try talking to him and see if he understands. I know if I tried explaining it to my dd, she wouldnt get it, but maybe Dom understands a little better lol.

Can you put him in underwear, and send him in with a pull up and a change of pants in case he has an accident? At least then, he can try, and worst case senerio, he has dry clean clothes to put on for the rest of the day.

Good luck to you and Dom!
