Subject: Defense of Handler Rule Question

For the beginning of the Defense of Handler exercise - at the starting point, does the handler have to give a "heel" command? Or can the handler give a different command for the exercise (ie. "defense" or whatever)? For this exercise, I do not want my dog to heel - he needs to be completely mobile in circling around me either direction and must maintain body contact at all times - but should only heel as a default. I feel that asking him to heel but not wanting him to would be conflicting... But would a different command be viewed as an exercise cue at the starting point? For now, I tell him the exercise at the preparation point, but give no command at the starting point. I would like to change this if possible :)

Thanks!!!
Laura
