Battle of the 'oopers..

So, we've decided to bring Trooper into our house full time. I've always had images in my head of what I would want in a dog, and Trooper is all of those things. He is the type of dog that just lays around during the day and lets kids ride him in the evening. One of his only faults is that he thinks that he needs to go to the bathroom about 6 times each night, which has resulted in him sleeping in his crate at night.
I do have one unforseen problem however. We never noticed how close "Trooper" was to "Cooper". So, half the time I mix their names up. I never noticed how many times I said Cooper throughout the day, but now Trooper answers every time I do. Every time I say, "Cooper, no!", Trooper thinks that he is in trouble. It's awful. I have no idea what to do.
I present to you, the battle of the 'oopers.

What do I do?!

Trust me, it will work out. Thinking he is in trouble when you say Cooper's name will make up for the times you don't see what Trooper does. This formula works for children, also. Dad
