🐾 AKC Community Canine (CGCA)
Test information, testing date Tuesday October 27,2026 starting at 5:pm.
Text- 815-545-5521

The AKC Community Canine, known as CGCA, is the advanced level of the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program. It takes the skills learned through CGC and tests the dog’s ability to behave appropriately in real-life community situations.

What does a dog need before taking CGCA?

A dog must:

* ✅ Already have a CGC on record with the AKC
* ✅ Have an AKC number, PAL number, or AKC Canine Partners number
* ✅ Pass all 10 CGCA test items
* ✅ Be tested on leash
* ✅ There is no minimum age requirement for CGCA, as long as the CGC requirement has been met.

Mixed-breed dogs can earn the CGCA title too.

🏆 The 10 CGCA Skills

The dog must demonstrate:

1. Wait calmly while the owner sits and completes paperwork or visits with another person.
2. Loose-leash walking in a natural environment, including turns, stopping, and changes of pace.
3. Walking through a crowd without pulling.
4. Walking past other dogs without pulling or losing control.
5. Sit-stay in a small group with other people and dogs.
6. Allowing a person carrying an item, such as a backpack or computer bag, to approach and pet the dog.
7. Leave it — ignoring food placed on the ground.
8. Distance stay — remaining in a sit or down while the handler walks away and retrieves an item.
9. Recall with distractions from approximately 20 feet.
10. Controlled doorways and narrow passages, entering or exiting without pulling and remaining under control.

⭐ CGC → CGCA

Think of it this way:

CGC:
“Well-mannered dog who can demonstrate good manners in a controlled test environment.”

⬇️

CGCA:
“Dog can take those skills and demonstrate them out in the real world, around crowds, dogs, distractions, food, doorways and everyday situations.”

The CGCA title is officially added to the dog’s AKC title record.

For All About The K-9, CGCA preparation would be a great next step for dogs that have completed their CGC and have their basic obedience skills solid, particularly loose-leash walking, stays, recalls and working around distractions.
