it won't confuse the dog.

the advantage of having two names as aposed to using tone of voice,
is that 2 names gives you greater flexibility....
dogs are VERY sensetive to things like tone of voice...

if you tell it something in an agressive tone...its going to be in an agressive frame of mind....
but with 2 names....you can still talk in the same calm voice.....

that can avoid escelating the situation...

also i NEVER talked to my dog in an agressive tone.

the best command to teach the dog is the "wait" command...

its VERY flexible
