Any fence used to contain a guard or attack dog must have a minimum height of six feet. All structures erected to house a guard or attack dog must comply with all zoning and budding regulations of the Village of Calumet Park. All structures must be adequately lighted, ventilated and kept in a clean and sanitary condition.
