Clarksville does not currently enforce breed-specific legislation. Dogs are regulated based on individual behavior. Dogs declared dangerous face additional requirements under Tennessee law.
Clarksville regulates dogs based on behavior rather than breed. Tennessee law (TCA 44-17-120) provides a framework for declaring dogs as dangerous based on bite history and aggressive behavior. Dogs declared dangerous must be registered, securely confined, and muzzled in public. Owners must carry liability insurance. Tennessee law does not mandate breed-specific bans but allows localities to adopt them.
Owners of dangerous dogs who violate confinement or muzzling requirements face misdemeanor charges and potential impoundment of the animal.
