- 1（寵物）會定點大小便、不在家裡隨地便溺的。美式較常說 housebroken。
A house-trained pet has learned not to wee or poo in the house — or to use a tray, or to wait and go outside. People say this mainly about dogs, and sometimes cats. It is the British wording; American English usually says . Getting a puppy house-trained takes time, and even a house-trained animal can have accidents when it is scared or . Though actually, adults sometimes joke that a person is house-trained, meaning they can live in a home without making a mess and will wash a cup. That is playful. The real meaning is about a pet's toilet habits, not about whether the animal is calm or friendly.
「house-trained」指寵物（主要是狗，有時也用在貓身上）已經學會不在家裡大小便，會用便盆，或忍到出門再解決。常見的組合是「get + 寵物 + house-trained」，例如「Getting a puppy house-trained takes time」，意思是幫小狗訓練到會定點大小便要花時間。英式說法是 house-trained，美式通常說 housebroken。
即使是已經訓練好的寵物，受到驚嚇或身體不舒服時，也還是可能失誤。大人有時會開玩笑說某人是 house-trained，意思是能住在家裡不弄亂，還會洗杯子，這是玩笑的用法。這個詞真正的重點是寵物的上廁所習慣，不是牠溫不溫和。
組成house + trained — trained for life inside a house
