BK is spot on about all of this, as usual.  Years ago, our family dog was trained with commands different than normal doggie words ("sit, stay...etc.") which always worked very well. The dog learns to respond to a given sound which has a clear message for a specific action. So "at ease", and "attention" produced the same result and only confused or intimidated the stranger she was meeting. We found that to be a good thing. 
Onco is going to be trained with German commands. It will make for less likely counter-commands in an 'excited situation' as well the benefits mentioned before.
