The instructions tell me to call the checkStatus method onto the object spike but when I put spike.checkStatus(); it says I’ve done it incorrectly. What am I doing wrong?

```

class Dog {
class Dog extends Animal {

}
int age;

public Dog(int dogsAge) {

age = dogsAge;

}

public void bark() {

System.out.println("Woof!");

}

public void run(int feet) {

System.out.println("Your dog ran " + feet + " feet!");

}

public int getAge() {

return age;

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

Dog spike = new Dog(5);
spike.bark();
spike.run(40);
int spikeAge = spike.getAge();
System.out.println(spikeAge);
spike.checkStatus();

}

}

<do not remove the three backticks above>

class Dog extends Animal {
    
  }
