    How can the code be compiled and executed for testing? There are missing classes.

    I forgot to change the class name, sorry I fixed that part now. I was having really hard trouble doing all three at once so I started by scratch but only with one dog and once I got one dog running well, I put the other dogs in.

    The code needs formatting to make it easier to read.
    Several } are hidden at end of a line. }s should be on a line by itself
    Statement(s) after an if and for statement should be enclosed in {}s.
    Statements after if hidden on same line vs in {}s on a new line
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    This is NOT good style:
     if(fido >=(track-1)) fido = (track-1);  //<<<<<<<< HIDDEN statement
    // it should be on two lines:
     if(fido >=(track-1)) {
        fido = (track-1);
     }

    Also there any many for statements with missing {}s
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
