Do you have idioms to express the meaning that "a dog or a child can use a toilet on their own" after training or certain age?
Thank you!

Let me clarify my earlier question:
When a baby can't use a toilet on their own, they had to keep using dippers. |

A child who is being taught to use the toilet is being toilet-trained or potty-trained. After he / she no longer needs diapers, the child is said to be toilet-trained or potty-trained. (Potty is baby-talk for toilet bowl.)
A pet that can use the toilet is also said to be toilet-trained.
