It looks like the error message has nothing common with the code you showed. It seems that your project contains one more file that was compiled.

However even the current code contains error. Instead of

	std::cout << "Dog's Name: " << D.GetName << 
		" Is " << D.GetAge << " Years Old" << std::endl;


must be

	std::cout << "Dog's Name: " << D.GetName() << 
		" Is " << D.GetAge() << " Years Old" << std::endl;

thanks for got the brackets, I have one more question I have read somewhere that the const key word should be used on protected variables where would I use that key word here?

Thanks

The const keyword is used to specify that something is immutable - it can't change once it is initialized.

If your Dog's name would never be changed after it has been christened in a constructor, you could make that a const. Once it is const, you could also consider making it public.

Dog::Dog(int iAge, std::string iName) : Name(iName) // initialize
{
	Age = iAge;
}
