In most cases that’s only ever outside of our home and NEVER inside, though there are some cases where people choose a designated bathroom spot inside instead.

Strictly speaking, the term ‘house training’ actually means to train a puppy to only ever toilet outside. So it doesn’t really cover training them to use an inside bathroom spot.

But most people now accept the term ‘house training’ to cover all types of toilet training, whether outside or in, though you will see people use the terms ‘house breaking’, ‘potty training’ or ‘toilet training’ too.
