10A DC Motor Driver Arduino Shield STOP function?

is there a stop function or code to make the motor control not to try to drive the motors when powered up? i try to stop it by doing this:

analogWrite(RightMotorPWMPin, 0);
digitalWrite(RightMotorPWMDir, LOW);

analogWrite(LeftMotorPWMPin, 0);
digitalWrite(LeftMotorPWMDir, LOW);

but every time i plug the battery it starts driving the motors. is there a better way?
