It sounds like she learned some new words at the kennel. My dogs teach each other to bark, my Gracie barks like her mother Lucy did. Now Gracie has become a "big mouth", she is very vocal. She gets in trouble lots for making too much noise while out in our fenced back yard. She's also my dog that chases all the varmits, rabbits, squirrels, whatever. She'll sit an stare up in to the tree looking for squirrels. Gizmo and Sammy could care less.
I have noticed Gizmo gets much more vocal when we've had lots of company coming and going. He thinks every car door closes is an opportunity to bark.
When we've had say a busy holiday or weekend of family over, he tends to do this. I'll reassure him nobody is here by opening the front door to look out. Then I close all windows and doors, so he relaxes. It seems to make him content knowing he doesn't have to "stand guard".
He has some of his own specific barking sounds, like the one others mentioned, I call it a "huff". This is usually because you are ignoring him, and he wants his toy thrown, or needs to go out. Then there's the "rooster crow", this he does when he's startled from a deep sleep, or maybe someone at the door. There's also a whine that almost sounds like "mmm", that just means "you're forgeting about me". There's a happy greeting and playing bark, those are just plain loud and continuous. He'll also do that when you clap.
Now, I don't know about the other corgi owners, but mine follows me everywhere. I wouldn't quite call it clingy, it's just something they like to do. He could be sleeping, I get up to use the bathroom and he wakes right up and follows me there. I've heard other corgi owners saying the same thing, they like to follow.
Corgis are smart, you can either train them, or they can train you.
