Housebreaking

Housebreaking (American English) or house-training (British English) is the process of training a domesticated animal that lives with its human owners in a house or other residence to excrete (urinate and defecate) outdoors, or in a designated indoor area (such as an absorbent pad or a litter box), rather than to follow its instinctive behaviour randomly inside the house.

Accidents are a part of the process, and if the pet's owner reacts negatively, it could be discouraged, and the success of the training might be delayed.

It is also important to note that older animals, dogs in particular, can require just as much training and attention as puppies whenever they are introduced to a new home.

One important part of housebreaking a pet, and dogs in particular, is to have preparations in place for periods of one's absence.

[7] Litter boxes, too, are available in different sizes and design - small, big, with walls, with a lid - and choosing a suitable one is important.

To introduce the kitten to its toilet area and acquaint it with the substrate, it should be placed in the prepared litter box.
