for Showing yes. For obedience at the beginner Novice level YES. But only one voice command for skill. ie you can't call come twice. And you can't signal and call come that is marks deduction. Big ones at least 5pts for calling come and signalling too.
For long down, you can signal it and say Down. You can repeat Heel command after every stop/sit.
Stand for examination you can signal stand as well as say command.
for heeling. Lagging and forging are point 1/2 deductions for each lag/forge. But calling up to you or signalling back is at least 3mark deduction, might be worth it if you think on the heel off lead you will lose your dog lol lol.
Good luck and most of all Dance with your dog be it conformation or obedience.
