#define to resolve namespace clashes

Question

I have several WCF services that share classes but because of the way WCF works, these classes are all seen as new and different classes.

Question: Is there a way to use C#'s #define to nicely resolve the clashes in a more readable way?

Can I do something like

#define Dog global::My_Project.DogServiceReference.Dog

So that I can then do

List <Dog> dogs = ...

instead of

List<global::My_Project.DogServiceReference.Dog>

I haven't tried this.
