ember.js controllers challenge

Add an action to the controller below called hidePuppies. When it is triggered, make it change the puppiesShowing property to false.

not sure where i am going wrong.......

js/app.js 
AnimalShelter = Ember.Application.create();

AnimalShelter.Router.map(function() {
  this.resource('puppies');
});

AnimalShelter.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  renderTemplate: function() {
    this.render('puppies');
  }
});

AnimalShelter.PuppiesController = Ember.Controller.extend({
  puppiesShowing: true,
  actions: {
     puppiesShowing: function() {
       this.set('puppiesShowing', false); // your code goes here
  }
});
