Directions
Dakota 283 manufactures high-quality and innovative products to contain and protect your dog. We take pride in serving the vast majority of the dog population with our products. However, our kennel products cannot contain ALL dogs. We expect that there are some breeds and or pets that are beyond containment with our products. While we have had great success in kenneling aggressive dogs, we are not claiming that we can contain every dog. Dog owners know their dogs intimately and should be the person that makes the final determination regarding the use of any product or kennel. If you have any questions concerning these products or if a kennel is right for your dog, please reach out to us so we may help you through the decision process. Knowing your pet’s personality, crate training, and properly supervising your pet while using our products will ensure your Dakota 283 product will last and provide years of Unparalleled Pet Protection.
