Alex:
If you go to this web page, you can get definitions for the American Kennel
Club (AKC) title suffixes (e.g., CD - companion dog, a first level obedience
title) and Prefixes (e.g., CH - champion, a conformation ("show dog")
title).

UKC (United Kennel Club - similar to the AKC) has titles listed under the
event type (e.g., obedience -- see http://www.ukcdogs.com/rules/o-1.html;
conformation -- http://www.ukcdogs.com/rules/c-3.html), etc.  You have to
dig a little harder to find them on the UKC site.

Certified Therapy Dogs (e.g., TDI) can be found at the TDI site
http://www.tdi-dog.org/.  (Delta is also a therapy organization similar to
Therapy Dogs International). The TDI certification is based on the AKC's
Canine Good Citizen designation.  A CGC is not technically a title as
defined by the AKC.  Hope that helps.
