Somehow I missed a couple of Damien07's replies. So if your parents are on a strict budget (which I understand) and they are reading these posts what they need to know is that this dog is a liability. If obedience classes aren't affordable now, will the fines incurred when the dog misbehaves affordable? If your parents don't have insurance covering a dog attack will the potential law suit be affordable? Will the eviction from your residence be affordable? These are all things that are very likely to happen if obedience classes aren't made the highest priority right now. I recommended a trainer to you about 25 minutes away in Oak Creek. They offer a kids and k9 class but for liability your parents would have to take the dog through basic obedience first before you could train your dog at the facility.
To the parents reading this I think giving up your dog is your best option. It doesn't matter if the dog belong's to the kids; ultimately you are the adults and liable for every action by the dog.
To the kids you don't buy an animal that you can't afford and say when we have jobs we will... You get the job first and then when you can afford it you get the animal.
