The spelling of the word "pottrained" can be a bit confusing at first glance. The correct way to spell this word is "pot-trained," with a hyphen between the two words. In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be pronounced as /pɒt treɪnd/, with the stress on the second syllable. This term refers to the process of training a pet, usually a dog or a cat, to relieve itself in a designated area, such as a pot or litter box, rather than inside the home.
