English to Italian translations [PRO]
Livestock / Animal Husbandry / pets, dogs

English term or phrase: housetrained

I am Italian-born, but I never had a pet and am not familiar with the care and feeding of animals. When I found myself saying that Windows Vista is "the computing equivalent of a non-housetrained labrador", I realized that I wouldn't know how to say it in Italian. So, what is the Italian for housetraining, or for a housetrained pet, cat, dog? Thank you.

Italian translation:disciplinato

Explanation:
Riprendendo il contesto originale:
"Windows Vista: the computing equivalent of a non-housetrained labrador"
direi che la parola che cerchi è "indisciplinato". Va da sè che il suo opposto è... disciplinato.
Come le persone, anche i nostri amici animali devono seguire le regole, e le regole - in casa come fuori - implicano disciplina.

educato (a non sporcare in casa)

Explanation:
tra gli addestratori di cani, si usa molto la parola 'educare' i cani. Ci sono anche moltissimi giornali che parlano di "cani maleducati" per dire cani che sporcano per strada, mentre altri dicono più giustamente che sono 'i cani di padroni maleducati' :-) Cmq nel tuo caso direi che un 'labrador mai educato a stare in casa' starebbe bene in un contesto formale, nel colloquiale va benone la proposta di Giada, certamente più diffuso nel quotidiano
