          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.}


          **it 1.** description 1//**ittt 2.** description 2





          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.
