Lori,
IMHO if the dog is offering a lot of different actions in response to a given command it means he's learned that something gets him what he wants, he's not sure what it is, but he just has to run through the list he has someplace in that pea brain(don't take offense, mine have the same size) of his.
What he's learned is a chain, if you will.
Myself I'd back off the multiple commands and concentrate on one or two at a time in three or four day increments before introducing something else.
To me this kind of free form shaping you describe would serve no purpose other then to keep the dog in a nonthinking state of mind.
