housetrain
Civilize a pet
To housetrain an animal, especially a dog, is to teach it to relieve itself outdoors or in a designated spot rather than anywhere in the house: It took weeks to housetrain the puppy.
The past participle housebroken is more common in American English, housetrained in British.
Figuratively, someone not yet housetrained lacks basic social graces.
