The command descriptionlabel controls the format of the description label. Its default definition, which you can find in ll. 438-439 of report.cls, is

newcommand*descriptionlabel[1]{hspacelabelsep

                                normalfontbfseries #1}

You can include a period and make it read

renewcommand*descriptionlabel[1]{hspacelabelsep

                                   normalfontbfseries #1.}

---

If applied in the preamble this change is global and affects all description environments. If you want to change only one environment you can keep the redefinition local with grouping

begingroup

renewcommand*descriptionlabel[1]{%

  hspacelabelsep

  normalfontbfseries #1.}

begin{description}

item[it 1] description 1

item[ittt 2] description 2

end{description}

endgroup

---

If you are using enumitem something like

newcommand*dotteddescriptionlabel[1]{%

  normalfontbfseries #1.}

in the preamble and then

begin{description}[format=dotteddescriptionlabel]

item[it 1] description 1

item[ittt 2] description 2

end{description}

would also work since format may take an argument. Indeed

newcommand*dotteddescriptionlabel[1]{#1.}

would have been enough since the remaining format settings are inherited from the standard dotteddescriptionlabel.

  +1, but it might be useful to note that this changes all description environments to have a period after the label.
