This is what Charley had to do to pass his test:

7. Free of aggression toward people during at least 6 weeks of class
8. Free of aggression toward other puppies in class
9. Tolerates collar or body harness of owner’s choice
10. Owner can hug or hold puppy (depending on size)
11. Puppy allows owner to take away a treat or toy
PRE-CANINE GOOD CITIZEN® TEST BEHAVIORS:
12. Allows (in any position) petting by a person other than the owner
13. Grooming-Allows owner handling and brief exam (ears, feet)
14. Walks on a Leash-Follows owner on lead in a straight line (15 steps)
15. Walks by other people-Walks on leash past other people 5-ft away

We took the training a step further, and Charley learned to sit when I stop walking, stay when I'm about 5 feet away, go through a ladder on the floor, go through a tunnel, look and pay attention when I say "look", and sit when I greet another person.
Here we are waiting...
Walking up to our first station.
Being good while I shake hands with the teacher.
Class picture. This took forever as the puppies had a hard time sitting still next to each other (Charley especially).
Ahhh, put him on the other side, and he was good.
Another "graduation picture".
Sweet Charley, doing his "Look".
And he passed his test! Charley got a graduation certificate, a stuffed toy from his teachers, and I got a Hershey's bar for all our hard work!
He didn't like when I took his toy...
So, I just let him carry it!
Charley at home exhausted from his hard work and concentration (with his new toy).
Charley's certificate! 
And medal!
Charley is our little Puppy Star!! Canine Good Citizen, here we come!
