Naperville does not have breed-specific legislation banning particular dog breeds. Instead, the city uses dangerous dog provisions under Title 10, Chapter 4 to address dogs that pose threats regardless of breed. Dangerous dogs face enhanced restrictions.
Naperville does not ban any specific dog breeds such as pit bulls, rottweilers, or German shepherds. The city uses a behavior-based approach under Title 10, Chapter 4 (Animal Control) to address dangerous dogs. If a dog is deemed dangerous based on its behavior — such as biting, attacking, or menacing people or other animals — the owner may be required to muzzle the dog in public, confine it to the owner's property, carry additional liability insurance, or take other specified actions. Illinois state law (510 ILCS 5, the Animal Control Act) also provides a framework for dangerous and vicious animal designations that Naperville follows.
Dangerous dog violations carry enhanced penalties including mandatory confinement, muzzling requirements, and potential euthanasia orders for dogs deemed vicious. Failure to comply with dangerous dog restrictions: escalating fines.
