Call the name in a happy voice, and immediately reward your dog when they make eye contact. Practice multiple times a day in brief sessions. The majority of dogs master their name within several practice rounds.

What if I adopt two puppies together?

Try names that pair with one another but sound distinct. Try to stay away from rhyming pairs like 'Milo' or 'Luna', as this might frustrate the dogs during training.
