housetraining
Teaching pet bathroom manners
Housetraining is teaching a pet—usually a dog or cat—to relieve itself in appropriate places: outdoors or in a litter box.
The process typically involves consistent scheduling, positive reinforcement, and patience.
The puppy's housetraining took about three weeks.
Also called housebreaking in American English.
