house-trained
Won't soil inside
House-trained describes an animal, typically a dog or cat, that has learned to relieve itself only in appropriate places—outdoors or in a litter box rather than on the floor.
The British equivalent of American *housebroken*.
Figuratively, someone who is house-trained has learned to behave acceptably in polite company: He's not quite house-trained yet—still tells inappropriate jokes at dinner parties.
