Whoops, sorry! I did misunderstand what you were trying to say. Yep, it doesn't matter what word is used as long as it is used consistently. Most people I know use "strut" for heeling......but it sounds so frilly to me, LOL, that I wanted another word for it. I discovered that Chili is very responsive to the word "hup!", so that's our word for heeling.
