housebreaks

Teaches bathroom manners

Housebreaks is the third-person singular of housebreak, which means to train a pet—usually a dog—to relieve itself outdoors or in a designated spot: She housebreaks puppies before placing them with families.

The process teaches animals not to soil indoor spaces.

In British English, the same training is called house-training.
