This is the basic Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test requiring that the dog shows the ability to sit politely for petting, permit someone to preform basic grooming, walk on a loose lead, walk calmly through a crowd, sit, down and stay on command, come when called, have polity around other dogs, behave even when distractions are present, and allow a stranger to hold the dog's leash while the owner steps away.

The CGCA is the advanced level of the CGC program. The test items for this title are given in real venues, such as shows, classes and in the community. While many of the test items are the same as those for the CGC, the dog is required to perform more advanced exercises, such as keeping a stay in a group of dogs, obeying the "leave it" command while walking past food, recall with distractions, and waiting politely at a door.
