Sounds like Tosca is coming along very nicely. Consistency in structure and boundaries is going to help her a lot given all the bouncing around she's done in her short life so far.
One thing I caution people to remember when they begin the "corgis are so cute" type gushing, (especially with Pembrokes) is that these are tough short working dogs. You have an approximately 25 pound dog (give or take) that was bred to move cattle which outweighed it about 50 times, and the dogs won. So yes, tenacity, willfulness and stubborness are just a part of the breed(s).
