Changing SP Owner

I maybe using this command incorrectly but here goes:
exec sp_changeobjectowner 'usp_get_blindedversion', 'dbo'.
I want to make this stored procedure created by a developer to owner=dbo.
I cannot get this to execute, the error is "Object usp_get_blindedversion
does not exist or is not a valid object for this operation.you probably need the full path of the sp, i.e.
developerslogin.usp_get_blindedversion

begining of the name of the stored procedure, let me try that.

This appears to be just a warning, is that correct?

You should check dependencies before changing the owner. If you are calling
this sp from others sps or client code, using owner_name.sp_name then after
changing the owner those calls will fail.
Example:
create procedure [test].[p1]
as
select 1 as c1
go
create procedure dbo.p2
as
exec [test].[p1]
go
exec dbo.p2
go
exec sp_depends '[test].[p1]'
go
exec sp_changeobjectowner '[test].[p1]', 'dbo'
go
exec dbo.p2
go
drop procedure [dbo].[p2], [dbo].[p1]
go
Result:
c1
--
1
(1 row(s) affected)
In the current database, the specified object is referenced by the following
:
name
name type
-- --
dbo.p2 stored procedure
Caution: Changing any part of an object name could break scripts and stored
procedures.
Server: Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 4
Could not find stored procedure 'test.p1'.

Object names are not necessarily unique, so if you don't specify an owner
for the proc, SQL Server won't be able to find it.
