If you need more convincing, take a look at what former police K9 handler and current trainer Jeff Schettlerthinks:
“The Dakota 283 Hero Kennel was introduced to me a couple of years ago for the very first time,” he said. “I had used and been a dealer for other kennels, but when I saw the Dakota for the very first time, the quality of the construction, the price point, and the marketing were above par. As a the owner of Georgia K9 National Training center, I need a kennel that is incredibly tough, that can take the abuse — and can be thrown in and out of the truck as you need to. I need a kennel that can have a dog with massive drive getting into it, doing whatever he needs to do inside, and not breaking out of it. That, honestly, is a big issue with working dogs because they are so high drive that they want to get out there and do something.
“In my business, we have to have something that is a representation of our company: it has to be incredibly strong and absolutely secure. We found that with the Dakota 283 Hero Kennel.”
