Treehouse TeacherYou're close! Now that you've set up your each loop, the pet variable contains the current Pet object. The problem is that you're calling a method named all on the Pet object, but the Pet class doesn't have an all method. Instead, you need to call the name method on the Pet object.

petsis an array ofPetobjects. The array does not have anamemethod. ThePetobjects within the array each have anamemethod, though. Theeachmethod assigns eachPetobject to thepetvariable, one at a time. So you need to callpet.name, notpets.name.It's important to understand how the
eachmethod works before you go on. Make sure you've viewed the course's prerequisites, especially our Ruby Loops course.
