Thanks for all of your comments and suggestions. I think we are geting over the hump with our corgi. I guess what we thought was excessive sleep really wasn't. We are working on the biting and nipping issue and are making a little progess. Our main problem now is a puppy "rampage" that always starts between 8 pm and 9 pm. Our puppy, Ace, behaves quite well throughout the day and plays hard but also sweetly. But at that 8-9 time frame he goes crazy and gets downright mean. Anything we do to try to calm him down fails. Ultimately we have to put him in his crate for a time out. I have read that some people think you should never punish your dog by putting him in his crate, but some say it is O.K. Is this another corgi puppy trait? I guess it is just like having a baby throw a tantrum.
