Under Naperville Municipal Code Title 10, Chapter 4 (Animal Control), dogs cannot run at large within the city. A dog on any street, alley, sidewalk, or public place without being securely on a leash is deemed running at large.

Dog licenses are managed through the Police Department's Animal Control Services. The Naperville Park District designates specific off-leash dog parks where dogs may be off leash within fenced areas. Dogs deemed dangerous may be required to be muzzled in public or confined to the owner's property.
Dog at large: fines under Title 10, Chapter 4. Unlicensed dog: separate fine. Unvaccinated dog: additional penalty. Dangerous dog violations: enhanced penalties and restrictions.
